Madagascar Airport Transfer

 

Madagascar Airport Transfer is a 24 hours a day online booking service which provides a range of private vehicles from; cars, airport taxis, minibuses and coaches, available for hire between Ivato International Airport in the capital city of Antananarivo, or other destinations around the country. All bookings can be made in advance with a simple step-by-step process and secure payment options. The company is able to offer competitive rates for travel to and from the airport with no hidden charges or extras.

The best way to get around Madagascar is with a hired car, either through renting your own or joining an organized tour that covers the cost of transportation and accommodation in exchange for adhering to a schedule. The latter option is also more comfortable and safer, as Madagascar's roads can be unreliable and dangerous, particularly for tourists. If a tour is not suitable, driving yourself around the island is possible, but be prepared for long distances on unpaved and two-lane highways that can be slow. Few Malagasy own cars, so long-distance travel is usually accomplished in shared taxi brousses (bush taxis).

With no direct flights from Australia or New Zealand, the most straightforward route to Madagascar is via Mauritius or Reunion; Air Austral and Air Maritius both operate several services a week between Ivato and these two cities. From the UK, it's also possible to fly via Paris or Johannesburg with KLM, Air France or South African Airways.

Flights between the major towns of Madagascar Airport Transfer are a reliable and quick means of getting to and from major tourist attractions, but budgeting for them is important. Air Madagascar and Madagasikara Airways both offer domestic flights year-round, but schedules are often erratic and prices are high compared to European destinations. Air Madagascar's Easy Pass discount scheme can help defray costs, and discounts for children and senior citizens are available.

During the high season from November to March, it's especially wise to book your international flights well in advance. This can be done through a number of travel agents, including Flight Centre and STA Travel, both of which specialize in low-airfares; or with North South Travel, whose discounted fares benefit local projects in Madagascar.

If you're travelling on a tighter budget, there is a passenger ferry between Isalo and Nosy Be, as well as one between Isalo and Tamatave. However, the seas can be rough at certain times of year, so these ferries are not always operating. The ferry between Soanierana-Ivongo and Ile Sainte Marie is also sometimes cancelled due to poor weather conditions.
