Ground Transportation

Taxis

Official, pre-paid radio taxis are the safest and most recommended option. You can book and pay for your ride at authorized counters inside the arrivals hall to get a fixed, official rate. The trip to downtown La Paz typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. It is advisable to avoid unofficial taxis outside the terminal.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental agencies, such as Hertz, Avis, and Europcar, operate at the airport with desks located in the arrivals hall. It is recommended to book in advance. An International Driving Permit is often required. Driving in La Paz can be challenging due to the high altitude, steep hills, and congested traffic.

Public Transportation

Public transit options include local minibuses and the 'Mi Teleférico' cable car system. Minibuses are inexpensive but can be crowded and confusing for tourists. A more modern and scenic option is the Teleférico's Silver Line (Línea Plateada), which is a short taxi ride from the airport terminal and connects to other lines that descend into La Paz, offering a unique way to bypass city traffic.
