Brunei Airport Transfer Guide (2026) - All Options & Tips
Navigate Brunei Airport transfers confidently with practical arrival advice and warnings to help you avoid common pitfalls.
We have not yet verified how travellers currently reach Brunei from the airport serving it, so we are not publishing routes, operators or fares we cannot stand behind. For what is running on the day you travel, the arrivals information published by your arrival airport is the reliable source, and your accommodation will usually know what works best for the hour you land.
Helpful Tips
Grab the Dart app. It tracks Brunei's buses live. Pay fares digitally. No coins needed.
Use exact change for regular bus fares as drivers typically don't give change.
Taxis don't use meters in Brunei - agree on fare before starting your journey.
Water taxis from Bandar Seri Begawan jetty run frequently to Kampong Ayer.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at the curb may quote inflated flat fares to Bandar Seri Begawan, sometimes double the metered rate. Decline any driver who refuses to use the meter and instead head to the official taxi queue inside the terminal where fares are regulated.
Some freelance porters insist on handling bags from baggage claim to the curb and then demand a high fee. Politely decline unsolicited help or agree on a small tip in advance. Free trolleys are available throughout the arrival hall.
Currency-exchange kiosks just outside the restricted area advertise "no commission" yet use marked-up rates that are noticeably worse than downtown banks. Compare the offered rate against the mid-market figure on your phone and, if poor, exchange only a small amount and get the rest in the city.
