- Six firms serve the airport: Abbeilles Taxi (02 31 52 17 89), Caen Elizabeth Taxi (06 84 97 47 17), Taxi Bieville Beuville (06 87 52 56 61), Taxi Cambes en Plaine (06 74 01 24 08), CHL Taxis (02 31 72 63 07) and Taxi Carpiquet (06 16 43 58 31).

Regional coach
- Nomad line 114, Caen to Bayeux, stops at Carpiquet.

Publishing both prices is the point
- The airport puts a 1.60 euro bus and a 24 euro taxi on the same page. Few airports do, and it makes the trade explicit: for a solo traveller with a bag the bus is the obvious answer, for a family arriving late it is not.
