Taxi service in Zanzibar

Fixed-price taxis across Zanzibar island.

Getting from the airport or ferry terminal to your hotel in Zanzibar should be simple. With Zanzibar Car Rentals, it is. We offer fixed-price taxi transfers from Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) and the Zanzibar Ferry Terminal to Stone Town and all coastal areas on the island — no meters, no haggling, no uncertainty.

Our taxi prices are transparent and agreed in advance. A transfer from the airport or ferry to Stone Town costs $20. Transfers to any coastal area — including Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Matemwe, and Kiwengwa — are $50. The same flat rates apply for the return journey back to the airport or ferry.

Your driver is there before you land.

We monitor flight arrivals so your driver is always there when you walk out of arrivals — even if your flight is delayed or lands early. No waiting around, no phone calls trying to find your driver. You will see your name on a board the moment you step through the doors.

Our drivers are local, professional, and know every road on the island. From the winding lanes of Stone Town to the long coastal roads up to Nungwi, they will get you to your destination safely, comfortably, and on time. Luggage assistance is always included.

Booking your Zanzibar taxi is straightforward.

To arrange a taxi pickup, contact us via WhatsApp or our contact form with your flight or ferry arrival details, the number of passengers, your destination, and your pick-up date and time. We will confirm your booking and send the driver's details ahead of your arrival.

For requests within the next 24 hours, please call us directly on +255 77 275 5788 to ensure we can arrange your transfer in time. We are available around the clock and will always do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings.

More than just an airport run.

Beyond airport and ferry transfers, we also provide taxi services for day trips, inter-hotel transfers, restaurant runs, and island excursions. Whether you need a quick trip across Stone Town or a full-day hire with a driver to explore the island, we have options to suit your needs.

If you are planning to do more independent exploring, consider our self-drive Zanzibar car rental service — with 9 vehicles in our fleet and daily rates to suit every budget, it is the most flexible way to see everything the island has to offer.
