These guys are amazing in every respect. They made myself and my traveling party, feel comfortable and at ease and at the end of the day it’s all about building a genuine relationship and a human connection so if you start with that premise first everything else follows that should follow and is beautiful. Thank you addistransfer, I honestly didn’t expect to get an airport pickup in such a luxurious car at this price. The service was excellent from start to finish. Definitely a 10/10 experience!

A local airport transfer service, built around your arrival
Addis Airport Transfer isn't a taxi — it's a private, chauffeur-driven transfer service in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We meet you at Bole International Airport (ADD) and take you to your hotel or any address in the city, in our own comfortable, eco-friendly vehicles, at a price you know before you book.
Landing in a new city, often late at night after a long flight, is the moment you least want to negotiate a fare or hunt for a ride. So we keep it simple: you book online or on WhatsApp, we track your flight, and your driver is waiting at arrivals with your name on a sign.

Bole Airport transfer questions, answered
Everything travelers ask us before booking.
Good to know before you book
How much is a Bole Airport transfer to Addis Ababa?+
Fixed prices depend on your vehicle type and destination — you'll see the exact price before you confirm, with no hidden fees, no surge pricing, and no meter.
How do I get from Bole Airport to my hotel?+
Book online or on WhatsApp before you fly. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, and takes you straight to your hotel.
Where does my driver meet me at Bole Airport?+
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall past customs, holding a sign with your name. We send the exact meeting point and your driver's phone number by WhatsApp before you land.
Is Bole Airport pickup available at night?+
Yes — pickups run 24/7, including late-night and early-morning arrivals. Landing at 2 AM doesn't change your price or your driver's wait.
How long does Bole Airport to Addis Ababa take?+
Most hotels are 15–40 minutes from Bole Airport depending on traffic and location — Bole and Kazanchis are closest, Piassa and the outer city take a little longer.
Can I book a private airport pickup in Addis on short notice?+
Yes, though booking a few hours ahead guarantees vehicle availability — check the live seats-left counts above before you fly.
What's the distance from Bole Airport to the city center?+
Bole International Airport sits about 6 km (3.7 miles) from downtown Addis Ababa — close enough that most hotels are a short, predictable drive away rather than a long haul.
What happens if my flight is delayed — will my driver still be there?+
Yes. Share your flight number when you book and we track it — if your flight is delayed, your driver's pickup time moves with it at no extra charge, so you're never left waiting or charged for someone else's delay.
Can I get a private SUV or van for a group or family?+
Yes — choose the SUV for extra luggage and comfort (up to 4 passengers) or the multi-seater van for larger groups and families traveling together. Each vehicle type has its own live availability, so book early if you need a specific size.
Is there a shuttle bus from Bole Airport to the city?+
A public bus runs between Bole Airport and Piassa for under $1, but it has limited luggage space and no door-to-door drop-off. Our private transfer takes you directly to your hotel with your bags handled — no transfers, no walking with luggage.
What's included in a fixed-price transfer?+
Your fixed price covers the full ride, standard waiting time at arrivals, and any tolls along the way — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, with no last-minute add-ons.
Can I pay in cash or by card?+
Right now you pay your driver directly — cash or card — when you arrive, with no payment required to confirm your booking. Online payment (card, PayPal) is coming soon for those who'd rather pay in advance.
What's the cancellation policy?+
You can cancel or reschedule free of charge any time before your driver is dispatched for pickup — just message us on WhatsApp with your booking reference and we'll take care of it.
