To catch a taxi into Seoul, exit Arrivals via Gates 4 through 8, cross the street, and make your way to the taxi stands located at 4C~8C. The taxi ride to Seoul central will cost KRW40, 000 to 60, 000 and take around 1 hour. The expressway toll of KRW7, 100 is paid by the taxi passenger. Deluxe taxis are also available; these are more expensive but have the advantage of accepting credit cards. Drivers seldom speak English so write down your destination in a Korean on a piece of paper.

Short and long-term parking, as well as valet parking, is available. Parking lots are accessed via the Transportation Centre outside the terminal buildings and are serviced by shuttle buses.

Avis, Hertz and Kumho Rent-A-Car operate from kiosks at airport arrivals.

An express railway connection is in the final stages of completion and currently operates between Gimpo Airport (which handles domestic flights) and Incheon International.

The official language is Korean.

South Korea's monetary unit is the won (KRW). Currency can be exchanged at most banks and at casinos, and travellers cheques cashed at authorised banks and hotels. Most merchants in the cities accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, but Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the machines are generally only in Korean. Public ATMs at convenience stores and subway stations are generally available 24 hours. US Dollars are an accepted form of foreign currency and can be used as US Dollars in the areas around the American Military bases in South Korea.

The two terminals are connected by moving walkways and inter-terminal shuttles.

Local time is GMT +9.
