Airport Taxi in Medan

Tips & Hints about Kualanamu International Airport Taxis

General Tips

Kualanamu International Airport taxis are metered, so ensure that the taximeter is reset and turned on as soon as you enter the cab. If you’re traveling on a budget, avoid opting for luxury vehicle transfers, as these tend to be more expensive than regular taxis. While airport taxis are slightly pricier than typical city taxis, you can also opt for regular taxis by walking outside the airport terminal to flag one down or calling a local cab service.

Safety and Regulations

Always choose a taxi from the official taxi ranks at Kualanamu International Airport to avoid potential overcharging by unauthorized drivers. Official taxis at the airport are regulated and identifiable by their distinctive branding and licensing. Make sure the taxi is clearly marked with the official logo of the local taxi service to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

Comfort and Convenience

The majority of Kualanamu International Airport taxis are modern, well-maintained, and come equipped with air conditioning for a comfortable ride. Ridesharing services are also available at the airport for added convenience. Most taxi drivers are proficient in Indonesian and have basic English skills, making it easier for international visitors to navigate Medan and beyond.

Additional Tips

Drivers in Medan are known for being efficient, but you may experience quicker driving in certain areas. As street names can sometimes be tricky to find, it's helpful to provide nearby landmarks, city attractions, or hotel names when stating your destination. While tipping is optional, it is appreciated as a gesture of goodwill for good service.

Arrive at the Airport on Time

It is important to plan ahead for travel through Kualanamu International Airport and other major airports. We recommend that passengers check in at least two to three hours before their departure to ensure a smooth journey. Make sure all your travel documents are valid and that you have everything prepared before arriving at the airport. While arriving too early can cause unnecessary congestion, it's better to be slightly early than risk missing your flight. If you don't have luggage to check and you've already checked in online, you can give yourself less time. The security process at Kualanamu is efficient, and it should take no longer than 10–15 minutes to get through, even during busy periods.

Getting from Medan Airport to your hotel

After a long flight, the last thing you want is the hassle of figuring out public transportation in a bustling city like Medan. Buses and trains can be overcrowded and may not offer the comfort you need after traveling. Navigating unfamiliar routes while carrying heavy luggage can quickly become an exhausting experience.
