Transportation to Airport from Bogota City Center
El Dorado Intl. Airport
Bogota Airport serving in Bogota, which is considered to be one of the most important centers of South America, is also known as El Dorado International Airport.
Fast and convenient taxis are one of the most recommended vehicles to come to the airport from Bogota's center. If you do not want to take a taxi, you can come to the airport without difficulty by buses among the public transportation alternatives. However, buses are not the safest way to get to the airport in the city, especially at late hours in the night.
If you wish to travel to the airport at your convenience, you can also rent a car in the city and you can be in front of the airport terminal in a short time with the vehicle you rent. Private shuttles are both fast and extremely comfortable on this route, but the fees for these vehicles are a bit high compared to other alternatives in Bogota.
Taxi
Bogota is a city where taxis are often used to come to the airport from the city center, especially by foreign visitors. One of the most important reasons for this is security. Buses and other public transport can be problematic in terms of security, especially for those taking the road in the late hours. Traveling by taxi is both safe and extremely budget-friendly compared to many cities. The cost of getting to the airport with these vehicles in Bogota is about $ 15, although it varies according to the point where you take it. You can talk to the driver before you head out to the airport from the center, and you can also offer to negotiate at a fixed fare.
Bus
While buses are an alternative that can be used by those visiting Bogota many times, the first-time visitors of the city should be careful taking these means of public transportation. The main reason for this is the security problems that are experienced in the city from time to time. If you have traveled to the city before, you can take one of these buses in the airport direction from the stops and arrive at the airport terminal in half an hour or 40 minutes. The fare you pay for the buses varies between 6-8 dollars for each passenger.
Car Rental
Renting a car from Bogota city center is also an ideal option. You can board on your flight in minutes after delivering the car that you rented from the city center at the offices of companies like Hertz, AVIS or Europcar which have offices in Bogota Airport, where you can rent a car from the center. However, you must first contact and inform your car rental office in Bogota.
Shuttles
Some hotels in Bogota also offer extra charged or free airport shuttle service to their passengers. If you have booked one of these hotels, you can arrive at the airport in a very short time with the shuttle provided by your hotel. If your hotel does not provide this service, or if you are not staying in the city, you can also book one of the shuttles that bring you to the airport picking you up from your door. The airport shuttles you can use in Bogota are both comfortable and economical especially for those traveling in groups.
Airport Information
Bogota Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports in South America, welcoming its passengers 15 kilometers west of Bogota city center. The airport, which has continuous flights to other parts of the continent and the world, consists of two different terminals.

However, if you need to go to the outer parts of the city center, you should first talk with the taxi drivers to get information about average taxi fares and then negotiate, if necessary, for a flat rate.
