Cameroon Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Cameroon Based on currently available data, specific verified airport transfer services in Cameroon are limited in our system. However, travelers arriving at Cameroon's main airports, particularly Douala International Airport and Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport, typically have access to informal taxi services and private transfer arrangements. For the most current and reliable transfer options, we recommend checking with your accommodation provider or using the booking widgets on this site, which connect you with verified local transportation partners who can provide up-to-date availability and pricing. When planning your airport transfer in Cameroon, it's advisable to arrange transportation in advance, especially if arriving outside regular business hours. Journey times to city centers vary significantly depending on your destination airport and traffic conditions - typically ranging from 30 minutes to over an hour for Yaoundé's airport, which is located further from the city center. For current service availability, schedules, and booking options, please use our partner booking tools below to connect with active transportation providers serving Cameroonian airports.

Shared taxis (bush taxis) are the primary intercity transport - they depart when full rather than on fixed schedules

Moto-taxis are common for short urban trips but negotiate the fare before starting your journey

Major cities like Douala and Yaoundé have informal bus networks - ask locals for route guidance as signage is limited

French is the primary language for transport negotiations - learn basic phrases or have your destination written down

Unofficial 'Helper' Scam: Individuals posing as airport staff or helpful locals may approach you offering assistance with luggage, directions, or taxi booking, then demand payment or lead you to overpriced services. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, only accepting assistance from uniformed official airport staff, and arranging transportation through official airport taxi stands or pre-booked services.

Fake Taxi/Inflated Fare Scam: Unlicensed taxi drivers may quote seemingly reasonable fares but lack meters, then demand significantly higher amounts upon arrival, sometimes claiming misunderstanding or citing extra fees. Avoid by using official airport taxi services, agreeing on fares in writing before departure, or using ride-hailing apps where available. For current legitimate taxi rates, check the booking options provided on this site.

Currency Exchange Scam: Unofficial money changers at or near the airport may offer attractive rates but use sleight of hand, provide counterfeit bills, or short-change travelers during the transaction. Avoid by only exchanging money at official airport exchange bureaus or ATMs, counting all money carefully before leaving the counter, and being aware that street exchanges are risky and often illegal.
