José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport - GYE

Taxi

Taxis are available outside the terminal. Taxis must be metered, but majority of them do not have meters. Always agree on a price or make sure that the meter is running before you get into a cab. Don't take any taxis on the street, call a taxi if you can or take taxis from known places such as airport or commercial centers.

Bus

It is the cheapest way to get into the city. However, the local bus system is confusing. The bus is a safe way to travel around Guayaquil.
