Taxis and shared shuttle vans (transfer/minibus) are readily available outside the arrivals hall, meeting all incoming flights. These services provide transportation to the main nearby city, Coyhaique (approx. 55 km / 45-60 minute drive), as well as other destinations in the region. Shared shuttles are a more economical option and typically drop passengers at their accommodation.
Several car rental agencies have counters inside the airport terminal, including major companies like Avis, Hertz, Europcar, and local providers like Mitta and SalfaRent. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during the high season (summer), as demand is high. A 4x4 vehicle is often suggested for exploring the Carretera Austral and surrounding unpaved roads.
There is no formal, scheduled public bus system operating directly from Balmaceda Airport. The primary form of public transit consists of the shared shuttle buses (minibuses or 'transfer') that align their schedules with flight arrivals. These shuttles are the most common and cost-effective way to travel to Coyhaique and other nearby towns, offering a shared-ride service that often drops passengers directly at their hotels or a central point.
