Book hassle-free airport transfers in Banjul and arrive at your hotel or beachfront stay with ease. Fast, reliable rides to start your Gambian adventure.
Helpful Tips
Buy a rechargeable QCity card at the ferry terminal to tap-and-ride the bright-green gele-gele minibuses that run the Banjul, Serekunda corridor.
The Banjul, Barra ferry ticket booth accepts cash only in dalasi. Join the left-hand queue for cars and the right-hand queue for foot passengers.
Wave down a yellow-and-green bush taxi on Liberation Avenue for shared rides to Bakau or Fajara, pay the conductor in dalasi coins before you board.
Download the QCity app to track gele-gele locations in real time and top up your card without queuing at kiosks.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial porters inside Banjul International Airport grab bags from the carousel and insist on carrying them the short distance to the taxi rank, then demand inflated tips. Firmly say "no thank you" and keep hold of your own luggage.
Taxi touts in the arrivals hall quote fares in euros or dollars at 2, 3 times the going dalasi rate. Walk past them to the official taxi booth outside the terminal where prices are posted in local currency.
Currency-exchange booths just outside the secure area advertise "no commission" yet use a deliberately poor rate compared with banks in town. Change only a small amount at the airport and get the rest from ATMs or city-center banks.
