Airport Transportation in Antigua
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from V. C. Bird International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our Antigua airport transportation takes you from V. C. Bird International to hotels and villas in St. John's, the resorts of Dickenson Bay and the northwest coast, Jolly Harbour on the west coast, and English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard in the south. We also drive you to the cruise piers in St. John's.
Antigua Airport Transfers
Antigua airport transfers start outside the terminal, where your driver waits under the canopy with a name sign after immigration, baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price per vehicle is agreed before you fly. You choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Antigua airport transfer goes door to door to your resort, hotel, villa or vacation rental anywhere on the island, or to the cruise piers in St. John's. Heading to Barbuda? We drive you to the ferry dock in St. John's Harbour, or back to the terminal for your connecting flight.
Antigua Airport Shuttle
Our Antigua airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared taxi or resort bus that picks up other passengers along the way. It leaves when you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf bags, and suits families, groups and wedding parties heading to the south and west coasts.
Landing at Antigua Airport
V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) is in Osbourn, on Antigua's northeast side, and the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority runs it. All scheduled flights use one passenger terminal, opened in 2015, with four jet bridges and five baggage carousels, and the airport is open 24 hours a day.
After leaving the aircraft, you go first to immigration, with separate lines for residents and visitors, then collect your bags and pass through customs, where you show the QR code from your ArriveAntigua declaration. From customs you walk outside, where taxis wait and pre-booked drivers meet passengers under the canopy.
Antigua is on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year, with no daylight saving time.
ArriveAntigua declaration
Complete the online immigration and customs form at ArriveAntigua.com within 72 hours of your flight. It replaces the paper card and gives you a QR code to show on arrival.
Passport and visa
Bring a valid passport, and check whether your nationality needs a visa for Antigua and Barbuda before you book.

Is this page for Antigua in the Caribbean?
Yes. This page books rides from V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) in Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua Guatemala has no airport of its own; travelers there fly into Guatemala City, so check the code on your ticket.
How many terminals does Antigua Airport have?
One. All scheduled flights use the passenger terminal opened in 2015, so every arriving passenger walks out of the same exit after customs.
Do you drive to villas and vacation rentals in Antigua?
Yes. Give the full address or villa name and any gate or access details. Tell us if the access road is steep, narrow or unpaved, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.

Yes. The airport is open 24 hours, and your pickup is set for your flight's arrival time, with your driver following the actual landing.
Should I buy transportation from people offering rides at Antigua Airport?
There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

The ArriveAntigua immigration and customs declaration, completed online within 72 hours of your flight. Keep the QR code on your phone or printed, as immigration and customs ask for it.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.
Can I book a ride back to Antigua Airport?
Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your resort, villa or cruise ship, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
