Bogotá Airport to Usaquén transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Bogotá Airport to Usaquén should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Bogotá Airport to Usaquén transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Bogotá Airport to Usaquén 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 Usaquén in Bogotá is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, 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.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Bogotá Airport to Usaquén transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Bogotá Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "BOG to Usaquén" 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 Usaquén.
Bogotá Airport to Usaquén at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Bogotá Airport to Usaquén, 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 Usaquén?
An airport taxi from Bogotá Airport to Usaquén 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 Usaquén per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Usaquén 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 Usaquén, 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 Usaquén: is there a bus, train or metro?
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.
So the honest comparison for Usaquén 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 Usaquén 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 Usaquén
Usaquén, a former colonial village now in north Bogotá, lies about 30 km north-east of Bogotá Airport. Usaquén was an independent village before Bogotá grew to meet it, and it keeps a colonial plaza, a whitewashed church and a village atmosphere in the northern part of the capital. Its Sunday flea market fills the streets with crafts, antiques and food stalls, and restaurants and cafés in old houses are open every day. The Hacienda Santa Bárbara, a former estate turned shopping centre, and the Plaza de Usaquén are the main landmarks. Hotels and apartments here are popular with business visitors and families seeking a quieter, greener area.
Usaquén in Bogotá is part of a city that visitors know by its neighbourhoods: Usaquén, Teusaquillo, Fontibón and the airport area and La Candelaria. Whichever of them you are staying in, the Bogotá Airport to Usaquén transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door.
Things to do in Usaquén
The reasons most visitors come to Usaquén: Colonial plaza and church, Sunday flea market, Restaurants in old houses, Hacienda Santa Bárbara and Greener northern setting. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Where to stay in Usaquén
Where visitors stay in Usaquén: Usaquén centre, Santa Bárbara, Cedritos and Santa Ana. Our Bogotá Airport to Usaquén transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
The Sunday market closes streets around the plaza, so ask the driver about the best drop-off point and allow extra time on market days.
Eating well after the Bogotá Airport to Usaquén drive
Food is part of the arrival. Around Usaquén you will find changua, ajiaco, bandeja paisa and tamales, and most of our drivers can tell you where they eat themselves. If you would rather go straight from Bogotá Airport to a table than to the hotel, mention it when you book and the driver drops you close by.
Best time to travel to Usaquén
December to March and July to August are the driest months, while April to May and October to November bring the heaviest rain; Bogotá is cool all year with chilly evenings, so a light jacket is useful, and traffic is heavy at rush hours and on rainy afternoons.
Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Usaquén accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.
Meeting your driver at Bogotá Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Bogotá Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.
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. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Bogotá Airport.
Our vehicles for the Usaquén 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.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Bogotá Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Usaquén transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Bogotá Airport to Usaquén on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Usaquén and the ride back to Bogotá Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Usaquén transfer
To book the Usaquén transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Usaquén - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.
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.
Usaquén to Bogotá Airport: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Usaquén to Bogotá Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Bogotá Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Usaquén transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Usaquén transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Usaquén at any hour.
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.
