Ground Transportation
Taxis
Authorized airport taxis are the most common and recommended option. Passengers should purchase a pre-paid ticket from an official kiosk inside the arrivals hall. Fares are fixed based on zones within the city. Ride-sharing services like Uber and DiDi may be available, but pickup locations can be less straightforward than the official taxi stand.
Rental Cars
Several major car rental agencies have counters located directly within the airport's arrivals terminal. Options typically include Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and National Car Rental. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak seasons, to ensure availability and better rates.
Public Transportation
There is no direct public bus or shuttle service that enters the airport terminal grounds. To access local public transport, such as city buses or shared vans ('colectivos'), travelers must walk a short distance from the terminal to the main avenue (Avenida Aviación). This option is generally more suitable for those with minimal luggage.
