Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD) to hotels on Bole Road, around Meskel Square, in Kazanchis, Piassa and across Addis Ababa.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Addis Ababa Bole 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.
Airport transportation in Addis Ababa takes you from Bole International Airport to hotels and guesthouses along Bole Road, around Meskel Square, in Kazanchis and Piassa, up to the Entoto hills and out of the city to Bishoftu.
Our Addis Ababa airport transfers start in the arrivals area after customs, at Terminal 2 for international flights or Terminal 1 for domestic ones, where your driver meets you at the point named in your confirmation. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even after a long-haul arrival in the middle of the night.
Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans for groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Unlike haggling at the taxi line, the price is settled before you land, and each Addis Ababa airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying on Bole Road, near Meskel Square or in Piassa.
Our Addis Ababa airport shuttle is a private minivan for your party only, not a hotel or shared shuttle that waits to fill up: it leaves once you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address. There is room for suitcases, so it suits families, conference delegations and groups arriving together.

Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD) is the airport of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, in the Bole district southeast of the city center, and the hub of Ethiopian Airlines. It has two passenger terminals side by side: Terminal 2 handles international flights and Terminal 1 handles domestic flights.
After you leave the aircraft, follow the signs to immigration; if you are connecting to another flight, follow the transfer signs instead and stay airside. Immigration lines can be long when several long-haul flights land together. Collect your bags in baggage claim, then pass through customs into the Arrivals Hall, where you will find an ATM, a currency exchange counter and an Ethio Telecom SIM card counter.
The airport sits at about 2,334 m above sea level, so take it easy on your first day. Ethiopia is on East Africa Time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Visa and e-visa. Most visitors need a visa. Apply online for an e-visa at evisa.gov.et before you travel; it is accepted on arrival at Bole. Some nationalities can also buy a visa on arrival.
Passport validity. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Ethiopia.
Ethiopian birr. Ethiopia uses the Ethiopian birr (ETB). Withdraw birr from the ATM in the Arrivals Hall, and carry some cash, as cards are not accepted everywhere.
Ethiopian clock. Many Ethiopians tell time on a local clock that starts counting at about 6 a.m. Give and confirm pickup times in international time.
Ride-hailing pickup. Ride and Feres drivers pick up at the app pickup area outside the terminal, not at the Arrivals Hall exit.

Both journeys on one reservation. Give both flights, the return pickup address and the passengers for each. Staying at more than one hotel? Give the full itinerary.
La vuelta es igual de sencilla. Te recogemos en tu hotel o villa antes de tu vuelo, con tiempo suficiente para facturación y seguridad. Indícanos tu alojamiento y los datos del vuelo de salida al reservar y te recomendaremos la hora de recogida adecuada según tu ubicación y el día de viaje.
Reserva solo la llegada, solo la salida, o ambas como ida y vuelta, lo que mejor encaje con tus planes. Las reservas de ida y vuelta se gestionan bajo una sola reserva, así que tu recogida de regreso queda programada y confirmada antes incluso de aterrizar, una cosa menos que organizar a mitad de las vacaciones.
Los vuelos no siempre salen a su hora. Seguimos tu vuelo en tiempo real, así que si se retrasa, tu conductor ajusta la hora de recogida sin coste adicional. Si cambia tu itinerario por completo (otro vuelo, otra fecha u otro aeropuerto de llegada), contáctanos en cuanto lo sepas para actualizar tu reserva y asegurarnos de que haya un conductor listo cuando aterrices de verdad.
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.
Request them when booking, with the child's age and size. Availability and any fee are confirmed on your reservation.
Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.
Ask for authorization before booking and tell us about the animal and its carrier.
¿Viajas con un grupo grande, organizas una boda de destino o coordinas el transporte de un retiro corporativo o un congreso? Ofrecemos vehículos de mayor capacidad y coordinación de varios vehículos para grupos de cualquier tamaño, incluidos varios puntos de recogida y traslados programados según tu evento. Cuéntanos el tamaño del grupo y el itinerario y prepararemos un transporte que mantenga a todos en movimiento.

Your driver meets you in the arrivals area after customs, at the meeting point named in your confirmation. International flights arrive at Terminal 2 and domestic flights at Terminal 1, so give us your flight number when you book. Check the company name before you get in, and contact customer service if you cannot find your driver.
Addis Ababa Bole International Airport is about 6 km southeast of the city center. The drive usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic, which is often heavy at rush hours. Hotels along Bole Road are the closest, while Piassa in the north of the center and the Entoto hills beyond it take longer.
International flights arrive at Terminal 2, and domestic flights within Ethiopia arrive at Terminal 1. The two terminals stand side by side in the same complex. Give us your flight number when you book so your driver waits at the right terminal, and tell us if your arrival changes from an international to a domestic flight.
Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, guesthouses and apartments along Bole Road, around Meskel Square and in Kazanchis. Give us the full hotel name or address when you book, and your driver takes you straight there with no stops for other passengers, in a vehicle sized for your party and luggage.
Yes. Book a private transfer to your hotel or address in Piassa in the north of the city center, or up to the Entoto hills on the city's northern edge. Give us the full address or the name of your lodge when you book so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.
Bishoftu, also known as Debre Zeyit, lies south of Addis Ababa and is known for its crater lakes and resorts. Share the address of your resort or hotel when you book: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay, and if it does not, contact us and we'll confirm.
Yes. Many long-haul flights land in Addis Ababa at night or in the early morning, and you can book a pickup for any arrival time. Give us your flight number, and your driver will be at the meeting point for your landing time, so you do not need to look for a taxi at that hour.
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, if you miss a connection or if your flight is canceled, tell customer service as soon as you can so we can move your pickup to your new arrival time.
Yes. Book a return from your hotel or address in Addis Ababa to Bole International Airport and give us your flight time and airline. Tell us whether you are flying international, from Terminal 2, or domestic, from Terminal 1, so your driver drops you at the right terminal with enough time for check-in.
Yes, as long as you leave the airport. You need to clear immigration with a valid visa or e-visa before your driver can meet you in the arrivals area. Give us your arrival flight, your hotel address and, if you want a ride back, your onward flight time, and book each leg on the same reservation.
Most visitors need a visa. You can apply online for an e-visa at evisa.gov.et before you travel, and it is accepted on arrival at Bole. Some nationalities can also buy a visa on arrival. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Ethiopia.
No. Give all pickup and flight times in international time, as your flight schedule shows. Addis Ababa is on East Africa Time (UTC+3) all year, but many Ethiopians also use a local clock that counts hours from about 6 a.m., so 7 a.m. is 1 o'clock Ethiopian time. If a time sounds unusual, ask which clock is meant.
No. Turn down rides offered inside the terminal or at the exit. Your pre-booked driver meets you in the arrivals area at the meeting point named in your confirmation. Check the company name before you get in, and call customer service if anything looks different from your reservation.
