Taxis and shuttle buses take passengers from the newly built King Shaka Airport, which is 40 kilometres from the city of Durban. If you wish to take private transportation then there are many car rental companies within the airport.
A Hassan, Cabz4U, City Cabs, Checker and Eagle taxi companies compete with each other to take passengers into the city but they have an agreed fixed price among themselves. Since there is a fixed fee, you can share the ride with some other people looking to reach the city instead of travelling alone.
This is the most economic option to get to the city centre. You can take shuttle buses from either the Airport Bus Shuttle Service or Margate Mini Coach from in from of the arrivals terminal. There are only four departure times per day and while your first luggage is free, a second one will require you to pay a little extra.
