Frequently asked questions

Where does my driver meet me at Nairobi Airport?

At Terminal 1A (international) or Terminal 1B (regional/domestic). If you ask for a name sign, each offer shows whether the driver will meet you with one in the arrivals hall; if not, you agree a pick-up point with the driver. If your offer includes a name sign, wait inside the hall: do not proceed to the kerbside taxi area until you have located your driver.
