Transportation and ground access
The airport is connected to San Salvador via the Comalapa highway. The main transportation options for reaching the capital and other destinations include authorized taxis, private transfers, public buses and rental cars.
Passengers should confirm the fare before starting their journey, particularly when travelling to hotels, beach resorts or other towns outside the capital. Private transfer services can also be booked in advance and are a convenient option for late-night arrivals or passengers travelling with substantial luggage.
Bus stops are located outside the airport complex, towards the access road. Passengers need to walk from the arrivals area and cross the parking area to reach them. Before boarding, check that the bus is travelling towards San Salvador.
Public buses are an inexpensive option, although they are less convenient for passengers carrying large suitcases. Services may be limited at night, so arranging a taxi or private transfer is generally more practical for late arrivals.
Companies operating at the airport include Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, National and Europcar. Vehicles are collected from designated outdoor areas, with exact pickup locations varying by company.
Renting a car is particularly convenient for travelling beyond San Salvador, especially to coastal destinations and other parts of the country.
