Arrive in Jordan stress-free with reliable airport transfer options. Book your smooth ride from Queen Alia International Airport to Amman or beyond today.
Helpful Tips
Purchase a rechargeable 'Jordan Pass' transport card in Amman to use on city buses and pay discounted fares.
Use the 'JETT' bus company app or website to book comfortable, reliable intercity coaches between major destinations like Amman, Petra, and Aqaba.
For airport transfers, the Sariyah Express airport bus is a budget option, while pre-booked private transfers offer more comfort.
When taking a taxi, always insist the driver uses the meter ('adad') or agree on a fare before starting your journey to avoid overcharging.
Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Queen Alia International Airport may quote a fixed price significantly higher than the metered fare would be, for destinations like Amman or Petra. To avoid this, insist on using the meter before the journey starts or agree on a price in advance by checking current standard rates with the airport information desk.
Individuals posing as official airport or tourism representatives may approach arrivals offering 'assistance' with transport or currency exchange, then direct travelers to overpriced services. This is a common tactic in many tourist hubs. Politely decline unsolicited help and proceed to the official taxi counter or pre-booked transport inside the terminal.
Some currency exchange counters or unofficial money changers in the arrivals hall may offer poor rates or use confusing calculations. While not unique to Jordan, it's advisable to exchange a small amount for immediate needs at the airport and compare rates or use ATMs for better value.
