There are various companies in the city center where you can rent a car from. If you rent a car to go to the airport, you must drive west via the Rue de la Gendarmerie. The journey takes only 8-10 minutes.
It is always possible to find a taxi in the city center. It takes less than 10 minutes to get to the airport from the city center by taxi and the taxi fares are not too high. Nevertheless, it is also useful to bargain on the price beforehand.
It is also possible to reach the Hassan Djamaous International Airport with airport buses departing from the city center. While the buses are very affordable, you should keep in mind that you should not look for comfort in these vehicles.
Almost all accommodation centers in N’djamena provide airport shuttle service to their guests. You are not expected to make a payment for this service which you can make a reservation for in advance.
The Hassan Djamaous International Airport is referred to as N’djamena Airport. The airport serving both military and civilian flights is the only airport in Chad to conduct international flights.

There is an international airport in Khartoum, but preparations are under way for a new airport as it is not sufficient to meet the needs. The new airport is 40 kilometers to the south from Khartoum. Khartoum also has a railway transport system that connects to the surrounding areas and even to Egypt, although it is not used in urban transport.
There are not many alternatives to reach the city center from Khartoum International Airport which is 12 kilometers to the center of the city. Especially in the city where public transport is hardly used at long distances, car rental is the most preferred method. Of course, the fact that gasoline prices are extremely cheap is a big factor.
If you are not thinking about renting a car, the easiest and most reliable way for you is to use hotel shuttles. You should definitely check in advance whether or not your hotel provides this service and if they do you should make a reservation with your hotel. You can negotiate the price.
Although taxis are not used very much in the city center, you can find them at the airport. But you have to make a strict negotiation at first about the fee. If you are going to use taxi, you can reach the city center in about 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
One of the most preferred transportation methods in the city is car rental. The cheap gasoline prices are the biggest factor here. You can consider renting a car since finding a taxi in the city is not easy and other public transportation alternatives are not very comfortable. In this regard, you can benefit from car rental companies located at the airport. On the other hand you can also get help from the hotel you stay at. The biggest disadvantage of renting a car in Khartoum is the dense traffic flow.
If you have rented a car in this city where the traffic signs are not frequently used and the number of cars in the traffic is high, you should be very careful. If you rent a car, you can arrive from the airport to the city center within 20 minutes by taking a straight road via Africa Street.
