There are no car rental offices at the airport so you will need to pre-arrange a pickup by calling your preferred provider: Avis: 238-238; Budget: 229-388; Elsie: 227-237; and Roseraya: 241-442.

The journey to the city should take 15 to 25 minutes. Hail one of the Purple taxis outside of the arrivals hall or book ahead by calling PPP on 222-214 or 226-853 from inside the terminal. Insist on paying the officially posted rate otherwise you may be charged up to 30% more by the compulsively avaricious drivers. Another option is to travel into Bandar Seri Begawan by bus. Purple buses #23, 24, 36, 38 and 57 run between the bus station and the airport for the city centre every 30 minutes. Note that although cheaper, this is a less frequent and convenient service than that of the more reliable taxis.
