Algiers Airport Transportation

Your driver meets you in the arrivals area of your terminal, after customs, and walks with you to the car outside. International flights arrive at Terminal 4 and domestic flights at Terminal 1, so add your flight number when you book and your driver waits at the right building. Check the company name before you get in.

The airport is about 17 km east-southeast of central Algiers, in Dar El Beïda. The drive to the city center usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes in light traffic and longer at weekday peak hours. Bab Ezzouar is close to the airport, while Hydra and El Biar sit in the heights above the center.

International flights arrive at Terminal 4, which opened in 2019 and is used by Air Algérie for international routes and by the foreign airlines. Domestic flights within Algeria arrive at Terminal 1, and charter and pilgrimage flights use Terminal 2. Your flight number tells us which terminal to send your driver to.

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, apartments and offices in central Algiers, including the streets around the Grande Poste, Didouche Mourad and the Casbah. Give us the full address or hotel name when you book so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.

Yes. Bab Ezzouar, with its business hotels and offices, lies close to the airport, and Hydra, El Biar and Ben Aknoun sit in the heights above central Algiers. Enter your hotel, residence or office address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route before you pay.

Often, yes. Sidi Fredj and Zeralda lie on the coast west of Algiers, and Tipaza, with its Roman ruins, is further west. Share the full address when you book: when a vehicle is available for that route, it shows in the booking form before you pay, and if it does not, contact us and we'll confirm.

These longer trips outside Algiers can often be arranged. Boumerdès lies east along the coast, Blida to the southwest and Tizi Ouzou inland to the east. Share the address when you book and we'll confirm: if a vehicle is available for the route, the booking form shows it before you pay; if not, contact us before you fly.

Yes. Book your transfer with your flight number and scheduled arrival time, and the pickup is set for your landing, whatever the hour. This helps on late arrivals, after the last suburban train has left the airport station. If a vehicle is available for your route and time, the booking form shows it before you pay.

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so we can move your pickup. If you are held up in passport control or baggage claim, message customer service so your driver knows.

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or address in Algiers and give us your flight time and airline, so your pickup leaves enough time for check-in, passport control and security. Tell us whether you fly from Terminal 4 for international flights or Terminal 1 for domestic flights, so your driver drops you at the right building.

Most foreign visitors need a visa, obtained in advance from an Algerian embassy or consulate; a few nationalities are exempt. Your passport should be valid for at least six months, and tourist visas allow stays of up to 90 days per entry. Check the rules for your nationality with the Algerian consulate that covers where you live before you travel.

Algiers is on UTC+1 all year, with no daylight saving time, so it is one hour behind Paris in summer. The working week runs from Sunday to Thursday, and the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday. Offices and banks close on Friday and Saturday, so plan any errands for Sunday to Thursday.

Yes, above a set amount. Foreign nationals must declare cash worth more than 5,000 euros before passing customs, preferably online in advance or on a written form, and non-residents may not bring Algerian dinar banknotes into Algeria. Jewelry over 100 grams must also be declared.
