One option for getting between Hanan Airport and your chosen accommodation is through airport transfers organised through your accommodation provider. This service needs to be organised with your accommodation prior to arrival.
While most accommodations in Niue offer complimentary airport transfers, some will charge a small fee. On arrival, accommodation hosts or representatives will be waiting with a sign for you outside of the arrivals area. If you’re staying at the Scenic Matavai Resort or Villas, go to the Scenic Matavai kiosk.

The car rentals in Niue make it easy and affordable to use rental cars for airport transport thanks to the option to pick-up/drop-off vehicles at Hanan Airport for no additional fee.
If you have booked a car rental for pick-up at Hanan Airport, your car rental will be available on your arrival into Niue. Outside of the arrivals area, pop-up car rental kiosks are there along with car rental staff to go through your booking. You’ll go through the car rental paperwork, as well as a vehicle inspection before you’re handed over the keys to the vehicle. The vehicle will either be parked up in the airport car park or right at the entrance of the airport – either way, it will not be too far to walk.
You can also use your car rental to return to Hanan Airport to catch your departure flight. The process for returning your vehicle at the airport is simple: park the vehicle by the “Rental Cars Only” signs and leave the car keys in the car. There is no additional paperwork or procedures to be done.

(c) niuepocketguide.comThe Taxi
Unlike other airports around the world, you won’t see a string of taxis enthusiastically waiting outside of Hanan Airport. There is one taxi on the island, called “The Taxi” and he almost always needs to be booked, rather than hailed at the airport. Accommodation providers or the Tourist Information Centre will be able to book his service for you, as bookings can only be made over the phone. However, we recommend booking as soon as you can, as the taxi is understandably busy on plane days.
