Passengers mostly prefer taxis for transportation to the city center from Wonderboom Airport, which is 15 kilometers north of Pretoria city of the Republic of South Africa. As an alternative to taxis that you can find almost 24 hours a day in front of the airport terminals, you can also take advantage of renting a car or private transfer services at the airport.

The fares for airport taxis are not that high to reach the city center since there is not much distance between the airport and the city center. If you don't have local currency with you, you can make your payment easily with euro or dollar as well. If you are going to travel only to somewhere in the city center, you don't need to negotiate with taxi drivers for that. However, if you need to go to the outer parts of the city center, you should first talk with the taxi drivers to get information about average taxi fares and then negotiate, if necessary, for a flat rate.

Rent a car

Yet still, you can rent a car to get to the city center, or you can go on your journey traveling to different parts of the Republic of South Africa with the rental car. Renting a car in the Republic of South Africa is also one of the most comfortable and safe transportation options.

You can search online the companies providing private transfer services for the passengers in and around the city and, if you want, you can book your seat online or by phone.

Taxi is one the most budget-friendly and comfortable options that you can use for traveling to Wonderboom Airport from Pretoria city center or other nearby places. At the end of the travel, which takes about 15 minutes to the airport, you do not need to pay a high amount for a taxi. However, if you need to come to the airport from an area that is not very close to the city center, using a taxi may be a more costly alternative for this distance. One of the vehicles that can be considered advantageous especially for 7-8 or more passengers is private shuttles. The shuttles, which you need to book a few days before your travel, pick you up from your location in Pretoria or other centers and carry you directly to the airport.

Renting a car is another option that you can use to reach the airport. Traveling to Wonderboom Airport from the city center lasts about 20 minutes.

Taxi

Taxis are the most recommended vehicles for traveling to Wonderboom Airport from the city center. You can find a taxi in the center of Pretoria without any difficulty, but if you need to come to the airport from a smaller city or town around the airport, it may be a little more challenging to find a taxi. The transportation to Wonderboom Airport usually takes 15-20 minutes from the city center or the nearby places. This travel does not last long thanks to the city traffic, which is not very busy, but if you need to travel from a different place, it is useful to take the road earlier considering the difficulty of finding a taxi and long distances. You can make your payment in various currencies. However, it is very useful to have the local currency with you for a more budget-friendly transportation. If you think that the taxi fare may cost too much, you can talk to the driver about the taxi fare before getting on any taxi, and if you want, you can try to reduce the fare by bargaining.

Car Rental

Renting a car in Pretoria and its surroundings is among the methods that visitors frequently use for transportation. When traveling with rental cars in the city, you should be careful about the traffic rules in general. You should travel to the places that you do not know or have not traveled before with a local guide. If the company that you visit for renting a car has also an office at the airport, you can leave your car at the airport and then board the place without losing any time. If the car rental company does not have an office at and around the airport, remember that you should leave the car in the city center and travel to the airport with other alternatives. To get to the airport after renting your car, you should continue northwards from the center of Pretoria and follow the airport directions that you will see along the way. If you are not confident about finding directions or if you are going to visit the city for the first time, always have a navigation device or map with you. In this way, you can find your way in a much more comfortable way without getting lost while traveling to the airport.

Private Shuttle

Another affordable transportation vehicle that you can use to reach your destination is private shuttle. These shuttles, which you can use if you are a crowded group, are one of the best options to reach the airport directly. Although the cost of the private shuttles are generally low due to the short distance between the city center and the airport, they can be more expensive than taxis. For this reason, you should first determine the number of passengers traveling from the city to the airport, and then you should get information about the cost of using a shuttle for your transportation by contacting one of the shuttle companies. It can be more difficult to find a private shuttle and make a reservation in the busy seasons compared to other periods of the year. For this reason, if you plan to use these vehicles, you should make a search online and complete your reservation for your vehicle without losing time. Like other options, traveling to the airport with these vehicles takes usually 15-20 minutes, and this duration can vary according to your location.
