Managua Airport Transportation

Your driver waits in the arrivals area just outside customs, holding a sign with your name. Share your flight number when you book so the driver can follow any delay.

Augusto C. Sandino International Airport is about 11 km from downtown Managua, on the eastern side of the city. That side of the capital also makes it a convenient starting point for trips to Granada and Masaya.

Yes. Enter your hotel or guesthouse in Granada when you book and your driver takes you door to door from arrivals to the colonial center. Masaya and Laguna de Apoyo can be booked the same way.

Yes. Book a private transfer to your hotel or rental in León, the colonial city in Nicaragua's northwest, and your driver goes straight there with no shared stops.

Yes. Private transfers run to hotels and beach rentals around San Juan del Sur on the southern Pacific coast. Tell us about surfboards when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

Yes. Enter the full address of your rental, family home or office when you book, and add gate or access details in your reservation so the driver can find you.

One. Augusto C. Sandino International Airport has a single passenger terminal for international flights and La Costeña's domestic flights, so immigration, baggage claim, customs and arrivals are all in the same building.

US citizens need a passport valid for at least six months, an onward or return ticket and cash for the tourist entry stamp, which allows stays of up to 90 days. Officers may ask for proof of funds, and cash of 10,000 US dollars or more must be declared at customs.

Taxis at Managua Airport are not metered, so the fare is agreed with the driver or dispatcher on the spot. A pre-booked private transfer has its price per vehicle confirmed before you fly, and your driver is already waiting when you come out.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so a delay is covered. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so your pickup can be moved.

Yes. Book a one-way departure from your hotel or rental, or a round trip on one reservation. Give your departure time when you book so the pickup allows for the drive, check-in and security.
