Medan → Medan City Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Medan Airport (KNO) to Medan City Centre costs €35 per car for 1–3 passengers and €50 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 29 km via 1 and Jalan Bandar Udara Kualanamu; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Kualanamu International Airport is not in Medan itself but in Deli Serdang regency, about 29 km by road east of the old centre around Merdeka Square and Kesawan. The usual route leaves the airport on its access road, passes through Batang Kuis on the main road towards Medan and enters the city from the east along Jalan Letda Sujono. The roads outside the city move well, while the final stretch through the city streets can be slow in the morning and late afternoon; a toll road via Lubuk Pakam is the alternative when traffic is heavy.

Central Medan grew around the colonial Kesawan quarter, where Tjong A Fie Mansion and the old shophouses line Jalan Ahmad Yani, next to Merdeka Square and Medan railway station. A short way south are Maimun Palace, the former residence of the Sultan of Deli, and the Great Mosque with its black domes. Many hotels stand along Jalan Imam Bonjol, Jalan Sudirman and around the Sun Plaza shopping centre, and the Petisah and Polonia districts lie just west and south of the core.

Public transport instead: PT Railink (KA Bandara Kualanamu) train Kualanamu Airport Rail Link from Kualanamu Airport station (next to the terminal) to Medan station (Kesawan).
