No waiting in taxi lines. No price negotiation. Book a Kumbai driver before you land — your confirmed taxi is ready when you walk out of arrivals.
Hato International Airport (CUR) sits about 12 km northeast of Willemstad. Without a pre-booked car, your options are the official taxi rank outside arrivals — where fixed government rates apply but waiting times vary — or finding a rental. Kumbai gives you a third option: book your driver before you land, pay upfront, and walk straight to your car.
Open the Kumbai app, enter your flight number and hotel. Your driver tracks your arrival automatically.
Your driver meets you in arrivals with your name. No waiting, no negotiating, no language barrier stress.
You see the full price before you confirm. Card, cash, or in-app — your choice.

Hato International Airport has one terminal. After clearing customs and immigration, you exit into the arrivals hall where your Kumbai driver will be waiting with a name sign. The taxi rank is just outside — but pre-booked Kumbai drivers can meet you inside.
The airport has ATMs in the arrivals hall if you need local currency (XCG — Caribbean Guilder), though most taxis, hotels, and restaurants accept US dollars. Credit cards are widely accepted. There is no Uber in Curaçao — Kumbai is the only app-based taxi service on the island.
Peak arrival times are typically mid-morning and early afternoon when flights from Amsterdam, Miami, and Bogotá land. Pre-booking avoids any queue at these times.
Every Kumbai driver is a vetted local who knows Curaçao inside out — every neighborhood, shortcut, and beach access road.
