Heading from central Nagoya to Chubu Centrair Airport for your flight? Plan backwards from departure time. Reference prices: ECO from on request Alphard from ¥20,000 Hiace from ¥25,000 per vehicle. All quotes are confirmed by our staff.
On departure day, the ride from central Nagoya to Chubu Centrair Airport involves check-out, luggage and your flight time. The airport sits on an artificial island in Ise Bay, some distance from the city, so it is best to work backwards from your flight rather than forwards from check-out. This guide explains how, and lists reference starting prices for a private car.
Plan backwards from your flight
- Confirm your airline's check-in deadline. It differs by airline and terminal; check the airline's website. We do not quote specific times here.
- Add time inside the airport. For baggage drop, security and departure procedures, see the Chubu Centrair Airport website.
- Subtract the drive. From central Nagoya it is about 40 to 60 minutes by private car in normal traffic.
- Add a buffer. It is better to wait at the airport than to rush on the road.
Give us your flight number and departure time when booking, and our staff will confirm the pickup time with you.
Train or private car
The usual public option is the railway. Timetables, fares and journey times change, so check the operator's announcements (links at the end). Consider:
- Trains run on fixed schedules, so your plans must fit them.
- Getting from your hotel to the station is itself a trip, and harder with large luggage, older relatives or children.
- A private car goes from your hotel or venue door to the airport without transfers.
Private car: reference starting prices
One-way, per-vehicle reference starting prices (not tax-inclusive). Tolls and parking are included:
