Private transfer or taxi?
An official airport taxi to Medellín costs about COP 132,000 to 143,100 in 2026, you queue for it, and luggage space is limited. A private transfer is booked before you fly, fits the whole group in one vehicle, and the driver is already waiting when you walk out.
Going back to the airport
We pick you up at your hotel, villa or apartment door, at the same price. For international flights we suggest leaving Medellín about 4 hours before departure, and 3 hours for domestic flights.
Add to your transfer
A grocery stop on the way to your stay, child seats, or turn the ride into an hourly booking or a Guatapé day trip.
