Madagascar - TransportationMadagascar - Transportation
Air transportation is the best way to get to the country. Maritime transport is mainly used for local transportation around the island, and to the Indian Ocean Islands (Mauritius, Seychelles, Comoros, and Reunion). Visitors to the capital city of Antananarivo or other cities can easily find taxis. Taxi fares are relatively low, but taxis typically do not meet U.S. safety standards.
Railway transport is available, but with limited connections.
Rental cars are available but can be quite expensive depending on the vehicle type, and non-residents are usually required to hire a chauffeur.
Commercial air service is available to major cities and resorts in the country. Private air charters can be arranged to various destinations.
International express delivery is now available from FedEx, UPS, DHL, and TNT. Prepared by our U.S. Embassies abroad.
