How to buy tickets?

You must currently only buy fares by Transcard, which you can buy for a fee at 1 000 kzt. However, the card cannot currently be purchased at the airport, so you can only effectively use the buses when travelling from the city centre to the airport.

You can buy cards at the following locations in the centre: transcard.kz.

In addition, cheaper fares can be purchased via the CTS mobile app ( 110 kzt Google Play / App Store), but it is only available in Kazakh and Russian.

Taxi

There are always a large number of taxis waiting at the airport and the price on the way to the centre is around 4 500 kzt.

Astana also has a mobile app Yandex Taxi, through which you can go to the city centre from about 2 600 kzt.

Car rental

There are several car rental companies (such as Avis) operating in the terminal. If you want to go to the countryside, renting a car is definitely the best and most flexible option.

Prices for a week's rental start at around 450 eur.
