Taxi or private transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi SGR Station?

An airport taxi from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi SGR Station means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi SGR Station per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Nairobi SGR Station involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Nairobi SGR Station, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi SGR Station: is there a bus, train or metro?

Nairobi has no metro, and the commuter rail to the airport area is limited; matatu minibuses and city buses are cheap but crowded, taxis and ride-hailing cars are common, and the Nairobi Expressway cuts the airport run to the centre and Westlands to about 30 minutes outside rush hour. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage, for a night arrival or for the drive to Naivasha, Nakuru or a safari lodge.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Nairobi SGR Station once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi SGR Station transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
