DAR typically handles a mix of full-service carriers on long-haul and regional routes plus low-cost and domestic airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 12–15 km north of the city center; taxis and app-based rides usually take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly USD 6–20, while shared shuttles and minibuses are cheaper but slower.
