Amman Travel – Taxi, Train & Bus Tips

Queen Alia Airport is about 20 miles away from Amman itself. You could rent a car from Dallah Rent-A-Car in the airport. But, Amman’s traffic is extremely heavy and it can be challenging to drive inside the city. So, you should consider another transportation option from the airport to Amman.

The cheapest transportation option is hiring a taxi. It costs about 20 dinars to take a taxi from the airport to your hotel in Amman. This is also a great option because fuel is very cheap in the city, keeping the cost of the fare down. The main type of taxi is a yellow taxi, but you can also hire a white taxi.

Another option is taking a big tour bus if you want to see various sites on the way to Amman. You can find these yellow and white buses at the airport. But, be careful if you take Amman Airport Bus Express. Some bus drivers try to take advantage of tourists traveling to the city.
