Official taxis and shared shuttle services (transfers) are readily available outside the arrivals hall. Taxis offer direct service to the city of Calama. Shared transfers are a popular and economical option for the 90-minute journey to San Pedro de Atacama and can be booked at counters inside the terminal or in advance.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies, including Avis, Hertz, Budget, and Europcar, have service desks located inside the airport's main arrivals area. It is highly recommended to reserve a vehicle in advance, particularly a 4x4 if you plan to explore off-road desert attractions.

Public Transportation

There are no direct public city bus routes that service El Loa Airport. To access the regional and national bus network (e.g., Turbus, Pullman Bus), travelers must first take a taxi or a shuttle from the airport to the main bus terminal (Terminal de Buses) in the city of Calama.
