Bus, taxi, and private transfer options with real KRW and EUR prices. **Airport:** CJU **City:** Jeju **Country:** South Korea **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju **Last updated:** 2026-07-17 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Jeju International Airport (CJU) is roughly **4 km south** of Jeju City center, making it one of the most conveniently located airports in Asia. The ride to downtown takes only **10-15 minutes** by car outside of rush hour — it is genuinely a short hop, and that alone keeps costs low. Korean taxis are metered, honest and plentiful, and Jeju's bus network reaches the whole island. This guide does not quote fares for either, because Korea Airports Corporation and the Jeju bus authority both publish their figures on sites we could not reach to verify — and an unverified number that looks freshly checked is worse than none. Check the fare on the meter, on the bus, or in the Kakao T app. ### What actually happens after landing CJU is South Korea's busiest airport by passenger numbers — it handles an enormous volume of domestic flights from Seoul and other Korean cities, plus a growing number of international routes from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The airport has two terminals. **Terminal 1 (domestic)** handles the massive Seoul-Jeju traffic. **Terminal 2 (international)** is where you arrive if coming from abroad. Both terminals are modern, clean, and well-signposted in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. After clearing immigration at Terminal 2, you collect your bags and pass through customs into the arrivals hall. The process is generally efficient, though it can slow down when multiple flights land simultaneously. The arrivals hall has **currency exchange counters** and **ATMs** — both give reasonable rates. T-money cards for buses can be purchased at convenience stores (GS25, CU) inside the terminal. Wi-Fi is free throughout the airport. One practical note: Jeju Island has a subtropical climate that can shift quickly. Wind and rain are common, especially in winter and during typhoon season (July-October). Check conditions before heading out. ### Transport options explained honestly | Option | Duration | Best for | |--------|----------|----------| | Taxi | 10-15 min | Most travelers to Jeju City | | Private transfer | 10-15 min | Families, groups, resort areas | | Bus 600 (Airport Limousine) | 20-50 min | Coastal hotels, Jungmun, Seogwipo | | Local bus (various) | 15-30 min | Specific destinations | | Rental car | Self-drive | Exploring the island | **Taxis** at CJU are metered, honest, and plentiful. The rank is directly outside arrivals. Korean taxis are clean and reliable, and the meter is trustworthy — which matters more than a printed estimate. Most drivers speak limited English, so having your destination written in Korean on your phone is helpful. Regular taxis (silver/white) and jumbo taxis (black, more expensive) are both available. Because Jeju City is only about 4 km away, this is one of the cheapest airport taxi rides you will find at a major airport — but check the meter rather than trusting a figure from a guide. **Bus 600** is the airport **limousine** bus that runs along the coast, stopping at major hotels and tourist areas including Jungmun Resort. It is comfortable with luggage space and runs frequently. The journey to Jungmun takes about **50 minutes**. Note that limousine buses are priced above ordinary local buses, and the fare varies by how far along the route you go — pay with a T-money card or cash, and check the fare on board or at the stop. **Private transfers** make sense when heading to resorts outside Jeju City, traveling with family, or wanting door-to-door service at a price fixed in advance. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign. **Rental cars** are extremely popular on Jeju. The island is best explored by car, and rental offices are near the airport. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required for foreign visitors. Roads are excellent and well-marked. ### Realistic pricing expectations Jeju is cheap to get out of, and the reason is geography rather than policy: the airport is about **4 km** from Jeju City centre, so the meter barely gets going before you arrive. That is the single most useful fact on this page. We do not print fares here. Korean taxi tariffs are set by the province and the bus fares by the Jeju bus authority, but neither publisher's site was reachable to verify a current figure, and the numbers circulating in travel guides for this airport disagree with each other. Rather than pick one and dress it up as fact, here is the shape of it: | Destination | Distance from CJU | Notes | |-------------|-------------------|-------| | Jeju City center | ~4 km | 10-15 min; the meter hardly moves | | Jeju Harbor / Port | ~5 km | Similar to the city centre | | Hallim / West coast | ~30 km | Real distance — check before you commit | | Jungmun Resort | ~40 km | Bus 600 serves it; about 50 min | | Seogwipo City | ~40 km | Across the island | | Seongsan (east) | ~50 km | Across the island | The pattern: anything in Jeju City is trivially cheap by taxi. Anything across the island — Jungmun, Seogwipo, Seongsan — is a serious drive, and that is where Bus 600, a fixed-price transfer or a rental car start to make sense against a long metered run. Jeju traffic is manageable compared to mainland Korean cities. Rush hour (08:00-09:30 and 17:30-19:00) adds 5-10 minutes within Jeju City. Longer drives to Seogwipo or the coast are rarely affected by congestion. Taxi fares are metered and transparent, and a late-night surcharge applies in the small hours — ask or watch the meter. Transfers use fixed pricing regardless of time. ### Late night arrivals CJU operates until late, with the last domestic flights from Seoul arriving around **22:30-23:00**. International flights sometimes arrive later. Taxis operate **24 hours** and the rank has cars available even after the last flights. Late at night the roads are empty and the ride to Jeju City takes barely **10 minutes**. A late-night surcharge applies to Korean taxi meters in the small hours — but over a 4 km trip, the absolute difference is small. Bus 600 stops running in the evening — check the current timetable for the last departure on your date, as late arrivals will need a taxi or a pre-booked transfer. There is no night bus service. Jeju City stays lively until late, especially around Tapdong and the downtown area, so finding food after a late arrival is not difficult. The island is very safe at all hours. ### Families and luggage Standard taxis fit two large suitcases comfortably. Jumbo taxis (black vehicles) accommodate more luggage and have room for 4-5 passengers plus bags. **Child car seats** are not standard in Korean taxis. If you need one, a pre-booked transfer is the only reliable option. Korean law requires child restraints for children under 6, but enforcement in taxis is minimal. Bus 600 has dedicated luggage compartments and can handle suitcases, though managing strollers plus bags on a bus with young children is challenging. The airport is modern and fully accessible with elevators, ramps, and nursing rooms. Trolleys are free at baggage claim. ### Where you meet the driver **Taxis:** Exit the arrivals hall and the taxi rank is directly ahead. Lines move quickly given the high volume of taxis available. No dispatcher needed — just join the queue. **Bus 600:** The bus stop is outside arrivals, clearly signposted. Pay with T-money card or cash. **Private transfers:** Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name sign. For international arrivals at Terminal 2, drivers wait near Gate 2 or Gate 3. You will receive a contact number in advance. ### Decision helper **Take a taxi if:** you are heading to Jeju City — it is so close and cheap that a taxi is the obvious choice. Quick, metered, and straightforward. **Book a private transfer if:** you are heading to Jungmun, Seogwipo, or a resort outside the city, traveling with family and luggage, or need a child seat. Also sensible if you do not speak Korean and want a driver who can communicate in English. **Take Bus 600 if:** you are heading to a hotel along the coastal route and want to save money. Comfortable and scenic, but slower. **Rent a car if:** you plan to explore Jeju Island properly. The island is compact enough to drive around in a day, and many attractions are not accessible by public transport. Just remember you need an IDP. ## Summary Jeju Airport is genuinely one of the easiest airports to get into town from. The distance is short — about 4 km — taxis are metered and honest, and the island is welcoming and safe. For Jeju City, just grab a taxi and watch the meter; it will not amount to much over that distance. For anywhere else on the island, Bus 600, a transfer or a rental car will serve you better than a long metered run. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How far is Jeju Airport from Jeju City center?** About 4 km. By taxi it takes 10-15 minutes. Because the distance is so short, this is one of the cheapest airport taxi rides at any major airport — check the meter for the exact fare. **Q: Is there a train or metro from CJU airport?** No. Jeju Island has no rail or metro system. Transport options are taxi, bus, rental car, or private transfer. **Q: Can I use Uber or Kakao T at Jeju Airport?** Uber does not operate in South Korea. **Kakao T** is the local ride-hailing app and works well at CJU. You can call a taxi through the app, though the interface is primarily in Korean. **Q: How much is a taxi from CJU to Jungmun Resort?** Jungmun is about 40 km away and the trip takes roughly 40-50 minutes — a real drive rather than a hop. A metered taxi is available; Bus 600 (the airport limousine) also serves Jungmun in about 50 minutes. For a price known in advance, book a transfer. **Q: Do Jeju taxis accept credit cards?** Yes. Most Jeju taxis accept credit cards and T-money transit cards. Cash in Korean Won is also accepted. **Q: What is Bus 600 and where does it go?** Bus 600 is the airport **limousine** bus, running from CJU along the coast to Jungmun and Seogwipo. It departs frequently and has proper luggage space. Limousine buses cost more than ordinary local buses and the fare depends on how far you ride — pay by T-money card or cash, and check the fare on board. **Q: Is it worth renting a car at Jeju Airport?** If you plan to explore the island, absolutely. Many attractions like Hallasan, Manjanggul Cave, and coastal trails are hard to reach by bus. An International Driving Permit is required. **Q: How late do buses run from CJU airport?** Bus 600 stops in the evening — check the current timetable for the last departure on your travel date. After that you will need a taxi (available 24 hours) or a pre-booked transfer. **Q: Is Jeju Airport safe at night?** Yes. Jeju is very safe by any international standard. The airport area and taxi rank are well-lit, and the island has extremely low crime rates. **Q: Can I get a child car seat in a Jeju taxi?** Taxis do not carry child seats. If you need one, book a private transfer in advance and request a child seat at the time of booking. ## Arriving Late at Night at Jeju Airport — What to Expect **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/late-night Jeju International Airport handles flights until late evening, with the last domestic departures from Seoul typically landing around **22:30-23:00**. Some international charter flights arrive even later. Here is what you need to know about getting to your hotel after dark. ## Taxi availability at night Taxis operate **24 hours** at CJU. Even after the last flights land, there are cars available at the rank outside arrivals. Late at night, the queue is usually shorter than during the day, and the roads are empty. The ride to Jeju City takes barely **10 minutes** without traffic. A metered fare runs **metered — check the meter** with the **20% night surcharge** that applies between 00:00 and 04:00. Even with the surcharge, this is very affordable. For destinations further afield like Jungmun or Seogwipo, the empty roads mean a faster journey — about **35-40 minutes** compared to 50 minutes during the day. A taxi to Seogwipo at night costs approximately **metered — check the meter**. ## Bus situation after dark **Bus 600** (the airport limousine) runs its last service around **22:00**. Local city buses also stop by this time. If you arrive after 22:00, public transport is not an option. ## Pre-booked transfers at night A private transfer is particularly useful for late-night arrivals heading to resort areas. After a long flight, navigating an unfamiliar island in the dark with tired family members is not ideal. Your driver waits inside arrivals regardless of delays, and the fixed pricing means no surprises from the night surcharge. ## Safety considerations Jeju Island is exceptionally safe at night. The island has very low crime rates, the airport area is well-lit, and walking around Jeju City at night poses no safety concerns. This is genuinely one of the safest places you can arrive late at night. ## Food and services after late arrival Jeju City has plenty of late-night options. **Convenience stores** (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven) are open 24 hours throughout the city and stock surprisingly good prepared meals, snacks, and drinks. Several restaurants near the downtown area serve until midnight or later, particularly around **Tapdong** seafood street and **Jungang Underground Shopping Center** area. The airport itself has limited food options after the last flights, so plan to eat in town rather than at the terminal. ## Accommodation tip If you arrive very late (after midnight) and have an early morning planned, staying at one of the hotels near the airport or in Jeju City center is more practical than making a long drive to the south coast. The **Jeju City area** has a wide range of hotels, guesthouses, and the famous Korean love motels (which, despite the name, are perfectly respectable budget accommodation). ## Why there are no fares on this page Jeju's taxi tariff is set by the province and its bus fares by the island's transport authority — but neither publisher's site could be reached to confirm a current figure for this update, and the numbers circulating in travel guides for CJU contradict one another. We would rather tell you that than print a guess that looks freshly checked. What you can rely on: Jeju City is only about **4 km** from the terminal, Korean taxi meters are honest and the rank is well supplied, and Bus 600 is a limousine service priced by distance travelled. Check the meter, check the fare on board, or book a transfer for a price fixed in advance. ## Taxi vs Private Transfer from Jeju Airport — Which One Makes Sense? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/taxi-vs-transfer With Jeju Airport sitting only 4 km from the city, the taxi-versus-transfer question here is different from most airports. The answer depends entirely on where you are going. ## For Jeju City — take a taxi There is no reason to book a transfer for a 10-minute, **metered — check the meter** taxi ride into Jeju City. Taxis are metered, plentiful, clean, and the queue moves fast. Even if your driver speaks no English, showing your hotel address on your phone is enough. | Factor | Taxi | Private transfer | |--------|------|------------------| | Price to Jeju City | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Wait time | 2-5 min queue | Driver waiting on arrival | | Language | Korean only (mostly) | English-speaking available | | Vehicle choice | Standard sedan or jumbo | Sedan, minivan, SUV | | Child seat | Not available | Available on request | | Payment | Card, T-money, cash | Pre-paid | ## For Jungmun, Seogwipo, or remote areas — consider a transfer Once your destination is 30+ minutes away, the dynamics change. A taxi to Jungmun costs **metered — check the meter** on the meter, and a transfer costs **metered — check the meter**. The transfer premium buys you: - A driver who speaks your language and can answer questions about the island - Fixed pricing with no meter anxiety on unfamiliar roads - A specific vehicle suited to your group size and luggage - Child seats if needed - A meet-and-greet inside the terminal For families with young children heading to a resort, the transfer removes all guesswork from a 50-minute drive. ## The Kakao T option **Kakao T** is South Korea's dominant ride-hailing app. It works at CJU, but the interface is primarily in Korean. If you can navigate it (or have a Korean friend help set it up), it calls the same metered taxis with no price difference — it just saves you the queue. ## Rental cars — the Jeju wildcard Many visitors skip both taxis and transfers entirely by renting a car. Jeju Island is compact, roads are excellent, and many attractions require a vehicle to reach. If you have an International Driving Permit and plan to explore, this is often the best value. Rental rates vary by agency, season, and vehicle class — compare the posted daily rate at the counter or when you book online. ## The honest verdict For Jeju City: taxi, no question. For southern Jeju resorts: a transfer saves hassle and provides comfort. For island exploration: rent a car. Jeju is one of the few places where no single option dominates — it genuinely depends on your plans. ## Why there are no fares on this page Jeju's taxi tariff is set by the province and its bus fares by the island's transport authority — but neither publisher's site could be reached to confirm a current figure for this update, and the numbers circulating in travel guides for CJU contradict one another. We would rather tell you that than print a guess that looks freshly checked. What you can rely on: Jeju City is only about **4 km** from the terminal, Korean taxi meters are honest and the rank is well supplied, and Bus 600 is a limousine service priced by distance travelled. Check the meter, check the fare on board, or book a transfer for a price fixed in advance. ## Jeju Airport with Kids and Family — Practical Transport Guide **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/family-and-kids Jeju Island is one of South Korea's top family destinations, and CJU Airport handles millions of families each year. The good news: the airport is modern, the distance to town is short, and Jeju itself is extremely safe and child-friendly. ## Airport facilities for families CJU has **nursing rooms** on both floors of each terminal, equipped with feeding chairs, changing tables, and hot water dispensers. Baby care facilities are clearly signed in Korean and English. **Free trolleys** are available at baggage claim, and the terminal is fully accessible with elevators and ramps throughout. ## Getting to your hotel with children The key question is where your hotel is located. **Jeju City (10-15 minutes):** A taxi is perfectly fine. The ride is short and cheap at **metered — check the meter**. However, taxis do not have child car seats. For very young children, you will need to hold them or bring your own seat. **Jungmun Resort or Seogwipo (40-60 minutes):** This is where a private transfer becomes valuable. A 50-minute drive with tired children in a taxi without car seats is less than ideal. A transfer at **metered — check the meter** gets you a spacious vehicle with a child seat pre-installed. | Option | Child seat | Luggage space | Comfort for kids | |--------|-----------|---------------|------------------| | Regular taxi | No | 2 large bags | Acceptable for short rides | | Jumbo taxi | No | 3-4 large bags | Better space | | Private transfer | Yes, on request | Flexible | Best option | | Bus 600 | No | Limited | Challenging with toddlers | ## Child car seat rules in South Korea Korean law requires child restraints for children under 6 years old. However, taxis are largely exempt from enforcement. This creates a gap — legally required, practically unavailable in taxis. If child safety is a priority (and for longer drives it should be), a pre-booked transfer with a requested car seat is the solution. ## Strollers and luggage Strollers can be gate-checked on Korean domestic flights and are returned at the aircraft door. For international arrivals, strollers come out at the baggage belt. From there to the taxi rank is a short, flat walk. Jumbo taxis (larger black vehicles) are available at the rank and handle strollers plus multiple suitcases comfortably. Regular taxis are fine for a stroller and one or two bags. ## Bus 600 with kids Bus 600 is theoretically possible with children, but practically difficult. Luggage goes in the compartment below, which means folding the stroller. The bus makes many stops, and keeping children seated for a 50-minute ride without car seats requires patience. If your child is older and can manage independently, it works. For toddlers, stick with a taxi or transfer. ## Practical tips - Convenience stores in the airport sell baby supplies (diapers, wipes, formula, snacks) - Korean restaurants on Jeju are generally welcoming to children - The airport has a small children's play area near the domestic gates - T-money cards work on all buses and can be loaded at convenience stores ## Why there are no fares on this page Jeju's taxi tariff is set by the province and its bus fares by the island's transport authority — but neither publisher's site could be reached to confirm a current figure for this update, and the numbers circulating in travel guides for CJU contradict one another. We would rather tell you that than print a guess that looks freshly checked. What you can rely on: Jeju City is only about **4 km** from the terminal, Korean taxi meters are honest and the rank is well supplied, and Bus 600 is a limousine service priced by distance travelled. Check the meter, check the fare on board, or book a transfer for a price fixed in advance. ## How Much Does It Cost to Get from Jeju Airport to the City? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/cost-to-city Jeju International Airport is only about **4 km from Jeju City center**, which makes it one of the cheapest airport-to-city transfers you will find anywhere. ## Taxi fares from CJU Taxis at Jeju Airport are metered and regulated. The base fare starts at **check the fare on board**, and short trips stay remarkably affordable. | Destination | Taxi fare | Transfer price | |-------------|-----------|----------------| | Jeju City center | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Jeju Harbor | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Hallim (west coast) | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Jungmun Resort | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Seogwipo | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | | Seongsan Ilchulbong | **metered — check the meter** | **metered — check the meter** | ## Bus costs **Bus 600** (airport limousine) costs **check the fare on board** per person regardless of distance. It travels along the coast with stops at major hotels and Jungmun Resort. Local city buses to Jeju City also cost **the posted fare**. Pay with a T-money card (available at airport convenience stores for the posted fare) or cash. ## When transfers make financial sense For Jeju City itself, a taxi is so cheap that a private transfer is mainly about comfort and language convenience rather than savings. However, for destinations like **Jungmun** or **Seogwipo** (40-60 minutes away), a transfer with fixed pricing protects you from unexpected meter charges, and the driver can handle luggage and communication. For groups of 3-4 people heading to southern Jeju, splitting a transfer often costs only slightly more per person than the bus, with massively more convenience. ## Night surcharge Taxis apply a **20% surcharge** between 00:00 and 04:00. A Jeju City trip at night might cost **metered — check the meter** instead of the daytime fare. Still very reasonable by any standard. ## Tipping Tipping is not customary in South Korea. Taxi drivers do not expect tips, and attempting to tip can cause confusion. Simply pay the metered fare. ## Why there are no fares on this page Jeju's taxi tariff is set by the province and its bus fares by the island's transport authority — but neither publisher's site could be reached to confirm a current figure for this update, and the numbers circulating in travel guides for CJU contradict one another. We would rather tell you that than print a guess that looks freshly checked. What you can rely on: Jeju City is only about **4 km** from the terminal, Korean taxi meters are honest and the rank is well supplied, and Bus 600 is a limousine service priced by distance travelled. Check the meter, check the fare on board, or book a transfer for a price fixed in advance. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/cju/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=CJU Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
