Taking a taxi in the morning or evening outside of rush hours is probably the most reliable method of transport to the airport in densely populated Durban. It’s also possible to reach the airport with rented cars or shuttle company buses.
You can reach the airport by taxi from the city centre in around 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. It might be a good idea to speak with the taxi driver beforehand and let them know your time of departure to not have any bad surprises for your journey.
The shuttle buses that leave for the airport depart from Durban Station in the city centre, depart once every day at 8:00, 11:00, and 16:00 and reach the airport in around half an hour.
The traffic flows on the left side in Durban, so if you come from a country where you drive on the right it might be a better idea to hire a car with a driver rather than getting behind the steering wheel yourself. If you come from country where cars drive on the left side, you might be more at home with this option.

Kherson is a peaceful Ukrainian city famous for its natural beauty and the shipyards. The fact that the city has a coast on the Black Sea and the Dnieper River makes it an important port and trade center. Kherson offers trolleybuses, minibuses, buses and taxis to the passengers who want to travel the city.
You can find a means of transportation from early morning until midnight. Kherson also offers bus services to all cities of Ukraine. The locals usually prefer their own cars for transportation in Kherson, which is a city that is highly developed in terms of economy.
Kherson Airport, located in the Chornobayivka area of the city, also hosts international flights. The airport is 15 kilometers away from the city center. You can only choose from bus and taxi options to get to the city center from the airport.
You can also prefer to take advantage of the car rental option by contacting one of the car rental companies in advance because there is not a bus service late at night, few flights are available at the airport and there is less chance of finding a taxi.
It is not usual to find a taxi constantly at Kherson Airport. In such cases, you can call Svitlofor, Econom and RikoTaxi whose phone numbers are available on the internet.
No direct bus service is available for transportation from Kherson Airport. You can go to the city center by bus 101 from Chornobayivka town, which is only 3 kilometers away from the airport. Considering the distance, traveling by bus is quite a tiresome option that should not be preferred at first.
Renting a car is easier at Kherson Airport compared to taxi and bus options. You can find contact information of the car rental companies on the internet.
