Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025

Taxis

Official airport taxis are readily available 24/7 at a designated stand outside the arrivals terminal. Using these authorized services is recommended for safety and regulated fares to different zones within Barranquilla. Ride-sharing services like Uber may also operate in the area, but pickup points can vary.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental agencies, including Avis, Hertz, and Localiza, have service desks located within the arrivals hall of the terminal. It is recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure better rates and ensure availability.

Public Transportation

Direct public transit connections are limited. The city's main bus rapid transit system, Transmetro, does not have a station at the airport. The most common option is to take a taxi to the nearest Transmetro station (Portal de Soledad). Alternatively, local public buses (busetas) run along the main road outside the airport, but this is less convenient for travelers with luggage.

Distances are approximate and calculated as straight-line distances.
