There are reportedly only 40 taxis in the whole of Brunei due to the high private ownership of cars; 10 of these taxis frequent the airport while 8 can be found at Belait District. You’ll have little chance of finding a taxi on the streets, especially during the peak rush hour times in morning and early afternoon. If you need a taxi it will be better to call them directly. The main taxi depot is located north of the capital’s only bus station at Jalan Cator. None of the taxis have a meter as there is neither an official company nor government regulations forcing one. Drivers have fixed prices on particular trips though tariffs can vary from driver to driver. For longer trips into the country it is probably more economical to hire a car.

Brunei must be the only place in the world where it makes sense to hire a car to get around. Most rentals start at B$130 a day and rental companies can make arrangements for pick-up/drop-offs at your hotel. There is only one ‘motorway’, which stretches from Bandar Seri Begawan along the coast. It then splits into dual and then a single carriageway but is suitable for all vehicles, right through to Kuala Belait and the toll bridge to Malaysia in the west. It is advisable to call the number of your chosen rental company for pick-up. Also check with your hotels if they offer rental options as some hotels in the city do so. If you intend to stay in Bandar Seri Begawan then taxis or walking will be fine to get around the city.

The Bandar Seri Begwan International Airport (BWN) is located only 15-20 minutes from the capital’s city centre. As noted in ‘Taxis’ there are taxis at the airport but they can be infrequent. A cheaper way would be to check with your hotel if they offer a free or inexpensive shuttle service. There is also a bus service that runs from the airport to the capital every 30 minutes. Look for buses 23, 24, 36 and 48 to get you to and from the airport.
