Relax in a private, air-conditioned ride from Cartagena airport straight to your door

You get picked up at the terminal with a name sign or collected from your hotel at a set time, then driven in a private air-conditioned vehicle to your destination. Tolls and taxes are included. The journey takes 15–40 minutes depending on traffic and location, and the price is per vehicle, not per person, so it doesn't matter how many travelers share the ride.

The Experience

The moment you clear immigration at Cartagena's Rafael Nuñez International Airport, someone's waiting for you outside the terminal with your name on a sign. That's the whole point of this transfer — no scanning the arrivals hall for a driver, no haggling over the fare once you're tired and holding luggage. You've already told them your flight number, your hotel address, and the time you land. The vehicle is parked and ready. Air-conditioned. Sized for what you're carrying.

The drive into the city takes 15 to 40 minutes depending on where you're headed and what the traffic's doing that day. Most hotels cluster in Bocagrande, Centro, Getsemaní, Marbella, or Zona Norte — those neighborhoods sit within the standard rate. If you're staying in Manzanillo, that's a separate conversation with the booking team, but for the main tourist areas, the price is fixed per vehicle before you arrive. You don't pay per person; you pay once, and however many people fit in the car you chose, they all go. Infants can stay in a stroller or sit on a lap. No car seat required, though you can arrange one if you need it.

Coming back to the airport works the same way in reverse. You give them your hotel name, your pickup time, and a WhatsApp number so they can confirm the morning of. They show up at your door, load your bags, and drive you to departures. The transfer between Cartagena and nearby cities is also available if you're moving on — just specify the destination when you book.

What’s included

Your transfer includes an air-conditioned private vehicle, door-to-door pickup or drop-off, all tolls and taxes, and a driver who tracks your flight (for arrivals) or confirms your pickup time (for departures). You communicate via WhatsApp to keep everything simple.
