How to get from the airport to the city centre?
Your transport options are fairly limited once you arrive at the airport however there are a couple of ways to find your way to the centre. If you are planning to travel around South Africa a bit or see the neighboring towns then renting a car from the airport would be the best bet. You can either do this after you’ve booked your flights to Bloemfontein or once you land. The next option would be to take a taxi. You’ll find these outside of the airport but make sure to agree on the fare before you get in else you might end up getting ripped off. You could also look into pre-arranging transport to collect you from the airport, while it won’t be as cheap as just jumping into a random taxi, it might make you feel safer knowing a legitimate driver will be there.
