About Renting a Car at Incheon International Airport
Incheon International Airport (ICN) is South Korea's largest airport and one of Asia's most important hubs, with 10 rental companies on site for immediate car pickup upon arrival. The airport is located on Yeongjong Island, about 50 km west of Seoul city center. Car rental desks are located in the arrival halls of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
From ICN you can reach Seoul via Incheon Airport Expressway (about 60 km, 50-70 minutes) or the faster AREX train link if you prefer public transportation. Incheon city center is just 20 km to the east, about 25 minutes by car via Route 130. Book your rental car in advance - during peak season (July - August and around Chuseok) availability is limited.
Choose a vehicle with GPS featuring Korean maps, as many road signs lack English text outside the motorways. Fill up before leaving the airport area - gas stations here are cheaper than in Seoul. Where do I pick up my rental car at Incheon Airport?
