Curacao CUR Airport Transfers (CUR)

Curacao Hato International Airport Private Transfer and Taxi

A private transfer is the most straightforward way to travel from Curacao Hato International Airport to your hotel, apartment or cruise terminal, because the car and driver are arranged before you land. Taxis are also available at the airport for travellers who prefer to decide on arrival. Whichever you choose, confirm the fare or the basis for it before you set off.

Vonaride provides private airport transfers from Curacao Hato International Airport, and the exact fare is shown before you book. The driver follows your flight and adjusts the pick-up time if your plane is delayed or arrives early, which helps when arrival times on the island vary with the day's schedule. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before pick-up, and drivers speak English.

For a Curacao airport transfer, the fixed price agreed at booking covers the journey itself, so traffic on the way into Willemstad does not change what you pay. Free waiting time is included, and its length depends on the airport and the provider, so it is shown on the booking page.

Arriving in Curacao: What to Know

Curacao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, having been separated from the former Netherlands Antilles in 2010. Dutch and Papiamento are the official languages, and English and Spanish are widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and taxis. The island has a hot, dry climate, and hurricane season runs through the summer and autumn months, so check forecasts before travelling. Willemstad's historic Punda and Otrobanda districts are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are a short drive from the airport in good traffic conditions. Many businesses accept US dollars, but cards are common, so carry a small amount of local currency for small purchases.
