Airport Transportation in Bogotá

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from El Dorado International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Bogotá takes you from El Dorado to hotels and apartments in Chapinero, the Zona Rosa and Calle 93, Usaquén and La Candelaria, and beyond the city to Chía, Zipaquirá and Villa de Leyva.

Bogotá Airport Transfers

Your driver meets you in the international or domestic arrivals hall at El Dorado, depending on your flight, so you can walk straight past anyone offering rides inside the terminal. We track your flight, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly.

Bogotá airport transfers run door to door in vehicles from sedans to group vans: to hotels in the Zona Rosa, Calle 93 and Usaquén, guesthouses in La Candelaria, apartments in Chapinero and family homes across the city.

Bogotá Airport Shuttle

Our Bogotá airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you are through arrivals instead of waiting to fill seats. There is room for suitcases and gear, which suits families, business teams heading to the north of the city and groups going on to Zipaquirá or Villa de Leyva.

Landing at Bogotá Airport

El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Bogotá's airport and Colombia's main international gateway, on the western edge of the city in Fontibón. It is the main hub of Avianca.

Most passenger flights use the main terminal, which has separate domestic and international areas on different levels. International passengers clear immigration, collect their bags and pass through customs into the international arrivals hall; domestic passengers exit straight from baggage claim.

The airport sits at about 2,600 m (8,500 ft), and Bogotá is cool all year. Colombia is on Colombia Time (UTC−5) all year, with no daylight saving.

Entry requirements and local notes

Check-MIG form. Foreign visitors complete Migración Colombia's Check-MIG form online before the flight. Depending on your passport, you may also need a visa.

Altitude. At about 2,600 m, many visitors feel tired or short of breath on the first day. Drink water and go easy on exercise and alcohol.

Unsolicited drivers. Decline offers from drivers who approach you inside the terminal; your pre-booked driver waits in the arrivals hall.

Cool weather. Bogotá is cool all year, so keep a light jacket handy, even if you are heading on to the coast.
