Santa Marta to Barranquilla Private Car Shuttle: Safe Transfer

Ride in a full-size sedan with a professional driver handling the route between cities.

A private car shuttle from Santa Marta to Barranquilla (or the reverse) pairs you with an experienced driver and a five-seat luxury sedan for the three-hour journey. Pickup happens at your chosen location in either city. The vehicle includes air conditioning, bottled water, and enough storage for luggage. Infants can travel in a specialized seat or on an adult's lap, and service animals are welcome.

The experience

Santa Marta sits on Colombia's Caribbean coast, and Barranquilla lies inland along the Magdalena River: a three-hour drive that most travelers handle alone or by shared minibus. This shuttle puts you in a private sedan with an experienced driver who knows the route, which means no stops to collect other passengers and no waiting for a shared vehicle to fill. The car itself is a five-seat automatic with leather seats, air bags, and a entertainment system. The storage compartment takes full-size luggage without cramping the cabin.

Pickup happens wherever you specify in Santa Marta City or Barranquilla (your hotel, an apartment, the airport), so you do not need to navigate to a terminal or arrange onward transport from one. Bottled water comes with the ride. The driver handles the highway. You sit back. Infants travel in a specialized seat if you request one at booking, or on an adult's lap if you prefer.
