Nausori Airport is the gateway to Suva. We could not find a published, official fare list for taxis or transfers on this route, so instead of guessing at numbers, here is what actually determines what you will pay in 2026 and how to protect yourself from overpaying.
Taxi Fares
Drivers quote a flat rate for your destination rather than running a meter as standard practice — there is no official tariff card published for this route, so the fare is effectively a negotiation. Always agree on the price before you get in. If you are unsure what a fair price looks like, ask your hotel in advance what they'd expect a taxi from the airport to cost, and use that as your reference point.

Pre-Booked Transfer Prices
A private sedan or minivan transfer from Nausori to Suva has a fixed price shown to you at booking — no negotiation, no surprises. The vehicle type (sedan vs. minivan for larger groups or extra luggage) is confirmed in advance. The premium over a typical taxi fare buys you a confirmed driver, flight tracking, and a vehicle that is guaranteed to be available regardless of when you land.
Hotel Shuttle Costs
Some Suva hotels offer airport transfers, either complimentary for higher-tier bookings or for a fee. This is worth checking when you book your accommodation — ask directly, since it is not always listed on booking websites.
Longer Transfers
If you are heading beyond Suva, costs increase with distance — Pacific Harbour, Sigatoka, and Nadi are progressively further along the same road. Get a specific quote from your transfer provider for the exact route rather than assuming a multiple of the Suva fare. For Nadi specifically, flying is usually the better option: Fiji Airways runs the domestic route in about 30 minutes, versus several hours by road.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
There are no toll roads between Nausori and Suva, so no hidden fees on that front. With taxis, the main risk is overcharging — some drivers may quote higher prices to visitors who look unfamiliar with the area. Agreeing the price up front, and having a reference point from your hotel, protects you. For pre-booked transfers, the price is all-inclusive, so there are no extras.
Tipping
Tipping is not a strong custom in Fiji, but a small amount for good service is appreciated. No driver will expect a percentage-based tip.
Bottom Line
A pre-booked transfer gives you certainty — confirmed availability, a known price shown before you fly, and a driver waiting specifically for you. If budget is the primary concern and you arrive during the day, a taxi is perfectly fine, provided you agree the price before you set off.
