Nauru International Airport (INU)
INU to your hotel: one pre-arranged hotel car or hire-car pickup, 10–20 minutes on the ring road — the risk is a flight that lands with no ride arranged, not the distance.

Rules in force · 5
- Nauru ↗Most visitors need a visa arranged before travel, often with a hotel booking or sponsor: check with the Nauru government or a Nauru mission for your passport, and do not book flights until it is approved.
- Nauru ↗Do not photograph the regional processing centre or government facilities.
- Coastal ring (Yaren and Anibare) ↗There are no taxis or apps: your hotel or a hire firm arranges every ride, so book the airport pickup and the return before you fly.
- Yaren ↗There is no public transport, ride-hailing or metered taxi: the hotel or a hire firm arranges every ride, so agree the airport pickup and the return car before you fly.
- Yaren ↗Do not photograph the regional processing centre, port or government facilities.

Before you leave the airport
- Have Australian dollars in cash for the whole stay: card machines and ATMs are unreliable.
- Send your flight number and hotel name to the hotel and ask who meets you.
- Save the hotel's phone number offline; roaming may not work.
- Check the entry approval or visa before you book flights.
Buying the ticket, step by step
- 1After customs, look for your hotel's driver or the hire-car agent outside the small terminal (field-verify).
- 2If no one is there, ask airport staff to call the hotel; do not accept an unarranged lift.
- 3Agree the fare or the day rate before you set off.
Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Your hotel or hire firm meets the flight; agree the pickup by message before you fly.
- Precision
- One small terminal, few flights a week and no taxi rank or ride-hailing (field-verify). Flight days and times change; confirm the pickup against your flight number.
- Late-night threshold
- 21:00

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask who will meet you; do not count on finding a ride at the terminal.
- Your visa or entry approval must be ready at check-in in your origin city: airlines check it before you board.
- Flights can be retimed or cancelled at short notice: keep the hotel's phone number and a spare night.
- Carry enough Australian dollars in cash for the ride and the first meal.
