Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are the safest and most common option. They operate on a fixed-fare system based on zones. You should purchase a ticket from the authorized taxi counters located inside the arrivals hall before proceeding to the taxi rank outside. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Indrive are also available, but their pickup points can be less formal.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies have service desks within the arrivals hall. Major international agencies like Hertz, Avis, and Europcar operate alongside local providers such as Localiza. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is often recommended, along with your passport and a valid credit card.

Public Transportation

The most economical option is public transport, which consists of minibuses ('micros') and shared taxis ('trufis'). These can be found on the main road just a short walk from the terminal building. They connect the airport to various points in Santa Cruz, including the Terminal Bimodal (main bus terminal). This option is best suited for budget travelers with light luggage as the vehicles can be crowded.

Worst airport in Latin America Posted by on August 19, 2016

They do not have any sophisticated equipment to handle customs. They make everyone to open the luggages going in. You could be in a single line for 30 mins to an hour. Leaving Santa Cruz the anti narcotics police will check every piece that you have in your carry on for drugs, specially if you are a single business traveler who made a short business trip to Bolivia. Everyone has to go through the anti narcotics check.
