Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Cartagena Airport (CTG) in Colombia to the Old City, Getsemaní, Bocagrande, Castillogrande, La Boquilla and the cruise terminal in Manga.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Rafael Núñez 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 Cartagena takes you from Rafael Núñez International Airport to the hotels of the walled Old City and Getsemaní, the beach towers of Bocagrande and Castillogrande, the resorts towards La Boquilla and Manzanillo del Mar, the cruise terminal in Manga and the docks for boats to the Rosario Islands and Barú.
Your Cartagena airport transfer starts at the arrivals exit of the single terminal, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and customs. We follow your flight, so the pickup moves with your real arrival time, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly.
Choose a sedan for a couple, an SUV for a family or a van for a group, and go door to door to your boutique hotel in the Old City, your apartment in Bocagrande or your resort in La Boquilla. Cartagena airport transfers can also be booked for the trip back to the airport on the same reservation.
Our Cartagena airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no other passengers to wait for. There is room for luggage, beach gear and strollers, which suits families, wedding groups and friends sharing a villa or a cruise departure.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) is Cartagena's airport on Colombia's Caribbean coast. It sits in the Crespo district, north-east of the walled Old City, and is run under a concession by SACSA.
All flights use one terminal with separate domestic and international areas, so arrivals, baggage claim and the exit are close together. International passengers clear immigration, collect their bags and pass through customs into the arrivals hall; domestic arrivals exit straight from baggage claim.
Cartagena is on Colombia Time (UTC−5) all year, with no daylight saving.
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, so check the requirements before you travel.

Heat from the moment you land. Cartagena is hot and humid all year; keep water and light clothes in your carry-on.
Ignore offers inside the terminal. Drivers and touts may approach you in the arrivals area. Your pre-booked driver waits at the arrivals exit; check the company name before you get in.
