Airport Transportation in Gimpo

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Gimpo 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 from Gimpo takes you from Seoul's city airport, Gimpo International (GMP), to hotels and apartments in Hongdae, Yeouido, Magok, Myeongdong, Jongno and Gangnam, or on to Incheon Airport and the rest of the capital region.

Gimpo Airport Transfers

Our Gimpo airport transfers start in the arrivals hall on the first floor of the Domestic Terminal or the International Terminal, where your driver meets you after you collect your bags. Gimpo has two terminals, so give us your flight number: flights within Korea, such as from Jeju or Busan, land at the Domestic Terminal, and flights from Japan, China and Taiwan at the International Terminal. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans to vans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each Gimpo airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying in Hongdae, by the Han River in Yeouido or in a Gangnam hotel, with no subway transfers or stairs to manage with your luggage.

Gimpo Airport Shuttle

Our Gimpo airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families and groups arriving from Jeju, Tokyo or Osaka together.

Landing at Gimpo Airport

Gimpo International Airport (GMP) is Seoul's city airport, in Gangseo-gu on the western edge of the capital, and a base for Korean Air and Asiana Airlines on domestic and short international routes. It has two passenger terminals: the Domestic Terminal, for flights within South Korea, and the International Terminal, for flights from Japan, China and Taiwan. A free shuttle bus links them. Long-haul flights use Incheon International Airport instead.

On an international flight you pass immigration, where foreign visitors are fingerprinted and photographed, then collect your bags and go through customs. Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim. The arrivals hall is on the first floor of each terminal.

Korea Standard Time is UTC+9 all year, with no daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

K-ETA or e-Arrival card. Visa-exempt travelers need a K-ETA before departure unless their country is on the temporary exemption list, valid through 31 December 2026, which includes the United States, the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, France and Germany. Travelers without a K-ETA complete the e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival.

Gimpo, not Incheon. This page books rides from Gimpo International Airport (GMP). If your ticket shows Incheon (ICN), book on our Seoul Incheon page.

Night curfew. Gimpo has no take-offs or landings from about 23:00 to 06:00, so a late-running evening flight may be diverted to Incheon. Tell us at once if that happens.

Korean won. South Korea uses the won, and foreign credit cards are widely accepted.

Gimpo Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Gimpo Airport?

Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall on the first floor of your terminal, after you collect your bags. Gimpo has two terminals, the Domestic Terminal for flights within Korea and the International Terminal for flights from Japan, China and Taiwan, so give us your flight number when you book and we will be at the right one.

How far is Gimpo Airport from central Seoul?

Gimpo International Airport is about 15 km west of central Seoul. The drive to Myeongdong usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes, longer at weekday rush hours. Hongdae, Yeouido and Magok are closer to the airport, while Gangnam lies across the Han River to the southeast.

Is Gimpo the same as Incheon Airport?

No. Gimpo (GMP) is Seoul's city airport, mainly for domestic flights and short routes to Japan, China and Taiwan. Incheon (ICN) is Seoul's main international airport, on Yeongjong Island west of the city. This page books rides from Gimpo; if you land at Incheon, book on our Seoul Incheon page.

Can you take me to Hongdae or Yeouido?

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, guesthouses and apartments in Hongdae, Sinchon, Yeouido and Mapo, all on the western side of Seoul near the airport. Give us the full address or hotel name when you book, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.

Can you take me to Myeongdong, Jongno or Gangnam?

Yes. Book a private transfer to your hotel in Myeongdong, around Gwanghwamun and Jongno, near Seoul Station or in Gangnam and Jamsil, in a vehicle sized for your party and luggage. Enter the full address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route.

Can you take me from Gimpo to Incheon Airport?

Yes. Enter Incheon International Airport as your drop-off with your onward flight time and terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, and leave plenty of time between your Gimpo arrival and your next flight for check-in and security at Incheon. We track your Gimpo arrival.

Can you take me to Suwon, Incheon city or further away?

Often, yes. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay. For long trips outside the Seoul area, share the address when you book and we'll confirm, or contact us before you fly.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Gimpo?

It depends on where you fly from. Flights within South Korea, such as from Jeju, Busan or Ulsan, arrive at the Domestic Terminal. Flights from Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei and Kaohsiung arrive at the International Terminal. Korean Air and Asiana use both terminals, so check your ticket.

Can you pick me up from a late-evening flight?

Yes. Book with your flight number and your driver follows your real landing time. Gimpo has no take-offs or landings from about 23:00 to 06:00, so if a late-running flight is diverted to Incheon, tell customer service at once so we can change your pickup.

What happens if my flight to Gimpo is delayed?

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date, airline or arrival airport changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so we can move your pickup.

Can I book a ride back to Gimpo Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or apartment in Seoul and give us your flight time and terminal, the Domestic Terminal or the International Terminal, so your pickup leaves enough time for check-in and security and your driver drops you at the right building.

Do I need a K-ETA to land at Gimpo?

It depends on your nationality. Visa-exempt travelers need a K-ETA before departure unless their country is on the temporary exemption list, valid through 31 December 2026, which includes the United States, the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, France and Germany. Others complete the e-Arrival Card online before arrival.
