TRANSPORT
Getting from King Shaka International Airport to the Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani Hotel. The hotel is just over 30km from the airport, so it is a 30-minute drive if there is no traffic.
On arrival at the airport, you will be approached by e-hailing drivers, either from Uber or other taxi/shuttle services. We do not recommend using an Uber driver without going through the app, or any taxi/shuttle service driver without arranging it beforehand.
UBER
To make use of the Uber service, you or someone in your team will need to have an Uber profile with access to the Uber app, either on a phone or another device. The trip may be organised once you land at King Shaka International Airport, or it may be pre-booked.
Uber trips to and from King Shaka may be reserved here. Reserved trips are more expensive than organising them in real time.
In terms of pricing, the following prices are an approximate price, during out-of-peak times for the trip one way:
- Uber Go (2 people) ±R180,00
- UberXL (6 people) ±R290
- UberX (3 people) ±R250,00
- Comfort (3 people) ±R320,00
Where to go at the airport
- The pick-up for Uber trips is from the multi-storey parkade (MS) Level -1.
- From arrivals, you exit the airport on the left-hand side and walk to the left.
- You will see a sign that says, ‘E-hailing Pick up point MSP Level -1’.
- Take the escalator down one level, and walk towards the e-hailing spot in the underground parking.
- If you have the app, there will be directions to the undercover area for both pickups and drop-offs.
