Taking a taxi in the morning or evening outside of rush hours is probably the most reliable method of transport to the airport in densely populated Durban. It’s also possible to reach the airport with rented cars or shuttle company buses.
You can reach the airport by taxi from the city centre in around 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. It might be a good idea to speak with the taxi driver beforehand and let them know your time of departure to not have any bad surprises for your journey.
The shuttle buses that leave for the airport depart from Durban Station in the city centre, depart once every day at 8:00, 11:00, and 16:00 and reach the airport in around half an hour.
The traffic flows on the left side in Durban, so if you come from a country where you drive on the right it might be a better idea to hire a car with a driver rather than getting behind the steering wheel yourself. If you come from country where cars drive on the left side, you might be more at home with this option.
There is only one terminal in King Shaka Airport where there is an ABSA bank, which opens half an hour before the first flight and closes half an hour after the last flight. In addition, you can find financial services from the ATMs of First National Bank, Nedbank, and Standard Bank. There is a prayer room for Muslims, and a post office that offers services depending on the first and last flights of the day. There are baby and childcare rooms that mothers can use.
In addition to these services, the airport has many lounges. The most exclusive ones are the South African Airways Business Class Lounge, found near the entrance of the terminal, and BIDVest Premier Lounge. In these lounges you can order some food and rest on comfortable seating areas to read books or newspapers.

Cumana Airport can only be reached with rental car and taxi, as there are no means of public transportation that can be used to travel the 17 kilometers distance between the airport and the city. In order to get to the city, you can take a taxi or rent a car.
Taxi drivers who meet passengers at the exit of the terminal building can offer the idea of going to the city center with a group of passengers instead of a single one. If you are alone and you do not have excess luggage, you can go to the city center in a short time by accepting this offer, at more reasonable costs.
It may make sense to rent a car in Cumana because of there are not many public transportation alternatives available. If you are planning to stay in the city for a long time, you can rent a car at very reasonable prices from the airport. Some of the car rental companies offering service are Enterprise, EasyCar, National, Budget, Sixt, Alamo, Dollar, Thrifty, Avis, Hertz and Europcar.
