Transportation in Nauru

# Transportation in Nauru Nauru, the world's smallest island republic, has a uniquely simple transportation system reflecting its compact 21-square-kilometer size. The island has no public transportation network, and visitors should arrange ground transportation in advance. The primary way to get around is by rental car, taxi, or through accommodation transfers. The island has one main ring road that circles the coast, making navigation straightforward. **Getting from the Airport**: Nauru International Airport is centrally located, and most hotels and guesthouses offer airport pickup services - it's highly recommended to arrange this before arrival. Taxis are available but limited, so pre-booking is essential. The entire island can be driven around in approximately 30-40 minutes, so nowhere is particularly far from the airport. **Important to Know**: There are no ride-sharing apps, limited taxi services, and rental car options are scarce. Book any transportation well in advance of your trip. Most visitors find that arranging a rental car or relying on their accommodation's transport services works best for exploring the island. The island's small size means walking is feasible for short distances in your immediate area, though the tropical heat and limited pedestrian infrastructure should be considered.
