Car hire
There are lots of car hire firms with airport pick-ups and drop offs. But you should book in advance to be certain of availability. You can try Car Rentals for availability and great rates.

Private transfer (taxi or minibus)
There is no doubt that private transfers can be a more attractive, if more expensive, option than public transport and self drive car hire.
