Bogotá Airport to Girardot transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Bogotá Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Girardot. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Bogotá Airport to Girardot transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Bogotá Airport to Girardot route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Girardot is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Bogotá Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Bogotá Airport (BOG)
El Dorado International Airport (BOG) lies in Fontibón about 15 km west of central Bogotá, 16 km from La Candelaria and 60 km from Zipaquirá, with a drive of 30 to 60 minutes to most of the city.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Bogotá Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Bogotá Airport to Girardot transfer.
Searches for "BOG to Girardot" or "BOG airport transfer" land here for a reason: BOG is the airport code for Bogotá Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Girardot.
Bogotá Airport to Girardot at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Bogotá Airport to Girardot, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Bogotá Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Bogotá Airport to Girardot?
An airport taxi from Bogotá Airport to Girardot means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Bogotá Airport to Girardot per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Girardot involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Girardot, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Bogotá Airport to Girardot: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Bogotá Airport runs mainly into Bogotá itself: from the airport, TransMilenio feeder buses and the city's public transport run to the centre but take time and need changes with luggage; taxis queue at the terminal; a pre-arranged private car meets you inside arrivals and takes you straight to the hotel, which is simpler for families, late arrivals and day trips to Zipaquirá, Guatavita or Villa de Leyva. Reaching Girardot from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
So the honest comparison for Girardot is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Bogotá Airport to Girardot transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Girardot
Girardot, a warm river town on the Magdalena, lies about 140 km south-west of Bogotá Airport. Girardot is a warm lowland town on the Magdalena River, at about 290 m, reached by a descent of more than 2,000 m from Bogotá's plateau. With hot weather all year it is the classic weekend escape of Bogotá residents, who come for swimming pools, country clubs, river views and hotels with gardens. Nearby are the Flandes and Ricaurte communities and the Magdalena River bridge, and the area is also a road link to Tolima and the coffee region. The drive is slow on holiday weekends.

Meeting your driver at Bogotá Airport

With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed.

Our vehicles for the Girardot transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Girardot and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Girardot transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Bogotá Airport to Girardot? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
If your trip continues beyond Girardot - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Bogotá Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Girardot transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Girardot. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Bogotá Airport
Give the driver the full hotel name and address, allow generous time for the airport run, keep valuables out of sight in La Candelaria, and take it easy on the first day because of the altitude.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Bogotá Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Bogotá Airport.
Girardot to Bogotá Airport: the return transfer
Most guests book the return at the same time: a Girardot to Bogotá Airport transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.
The Girardot to Bogotá Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Girardot transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Bogotá Airport to Girardot transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
