Whether you’re heading out on a business trip, returning home from university, or welcoming a loved one from abroad, airport travel can be hectic. Between flight schedules, baggage, and navigating Nairobi’s traffic, the last thing you want is uncertainty in your transport. That’s where Safi Rides comes in.
Our Airport Transfer Service is designed to take the stress out of airport commutes — providing safe, comfortable, and timely rides to and from Kenya’s busiest airports, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Moi International Airport (Mombasa).
Here’s everything you need to know before you book.
1. Why Use a Ride-Hailing App for Airport Transfers?
Unlike regular taxis or public transport, ride-hailing gives you full control of your travel schedule. With Safi Rides, you can:
- Schedule a pickup in advance
- Get matched with a vetted, professional driver
- Track your ride in real-time
- Pay digitally via M-Pesa or card
This means no last-minute scrambling, no hidden fees, and no long queues.
2. How Airport Pickups Work with Safi Rides
Booking a ride to the airport is as simple as entering your departure terminal and time into our app and selecting the “Airport Transfer” option. But for airport pickups, we go a step further.
When your flight lands:
- Your driver is notified in advance and tracks your arrival.
- You’ll receive their contact info and pickup location.
- Our drivers are trained to wait at designated pickup areas near the terminal.
This ensures a smooth, coordinated arrival — whether you’re traveling solo or as a group.
3. Traveling With Luggage? No Problem
Our vehicles are equipped to handle your luggage needs. Just indicate how many passengers and bags you’re traveling with when booking, and we’ll assign a vehicle that fits.
Traveling with children, elderly family members, or guests with special needs? Let us know — we’ll make arrangements for extra comfort and support.
4. Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
Airport rides are notorious for unpredictable charges. With Safi Rides, you’ll always know your fare upfront. Our app provides a clear breakdown of your costs before you confirm the ride.
We also offer:
- Fixed pricing for popular airport routes
- Cashless payments via M-Pesa or debit/credit card
- Reward points for frequent travelers
5. Best Times to Schedule an Airport Ride
To ensure a stress-free airport transfer:
- For domestic flights, book your ride at least 1.5–2 hours before your flight.
- For international flights, we recommend booking 3 hours in advance to allow for traffic and check-in delays.
- If you’re arriving late at night or early morning, no worries — Safi Rides operates 24/7.
