Ground transport options include taxis and ride-hailing services, airport shuttles and private transfers; local minibuses (kombis) can be cheaper though less predictable. Travelers often find HRE reasonably convenient for international connections but can encounter variable terminal facilities and occasional queues; fares and service levels tend to reflect a mid-range price perception compared with larger African hubs.
