Taxis at Soekarno-Hatta Airport
Taxis are widely used at the airport. They are the most practical option for door-to-door travel at night or with heavy luggage.
Where to find them
- At each terminal — taxis wait at the forecourt in front of the arrival halls of Terminals 1, 2 and 3; ranks are clearly marked.
- Official counters — airport taxi counters operate in the arrivals halls; they are the simplest way to join an official queue.
