Authorized airport taxis are available 24/7 at designated ranks outside the arrivals hall of both terminals. It is recommended to use these official services for safety and regulated fares. Ride-sharing apps like Uber, Didi, and Cabify also operate at the airport, with designated pickup zones typically located in the parking areas.
Major international and local car rental agencies, including Avis, Hertz, Budget, Localiza, and Alamo, have service counters located in the arrivals hall. Pre-booking your vehicle online is advisable to ensure availability and potentially better rates.
The TransMilenio bus rapid transit system connects to the airport. Passengers can take the free 'Alimentador' feeder bus (route 16-14 El Dorado) from outside the arrivals hall to the 'Portal El Dorado' station to connect with the main network. Additionally, blue SITP (Integrated Public Transport System) buses offer routes to various parts of the city. A rechargeable 'Tullave' card is required to use these services.
This is a pleasant, modern, and efficient airport. We had to wait a few minutes for a gate (because we'd landed 35 minutes early), but it wasn't nearly as bad as what I've experienced at YYZ or LAX. After landing, I was through immigration and customs much faster than I would be in a Canadian or US airport, and everyone was friendly and efficient. The car ride into the city was much nicer than, say, the urban blight you seen driving in from Newark.
One tip: travel guides say that it's best to order a car or taxi in Bogotá, rather than just getting into one. I don't know if that applies at the airport as well, but it's not expensive (it cost me about $25 for a car and driver from the airport into the Parque 93 district).
