What to know before your transfer at Bogotà-El Dorado Airport (BOG)

Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Bogotà-El Dorado Airport (BOG).

Two terminals, one pickup point

Terminal 1 (international, Avianca) and Terminal 2 (domestic) both feed into a unified arrivals zone. Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit with a name sign. Free 60-minute wait included if your flight is delayed.

Pico y Placa included in fixed price

Bogotá's vehicle-restriction scheme (weekdays 6 AM–9 PM) is fully covered. No extra fees for compliance or Pico y Placa Solidario permits. Distance to city centre: approximately 15 km.

Avenida El Dorado: 30–90 minutes to centre

Normal traffic: 30 minutes. Peak hours (7–9 AM, 5–8 PM): up to 90+ minutes. Your driver adjusts to real-time conditions; all time risk is borne by the fixed price, not you.

Professional licensed drivers

All Transfeero partners hold Licencia de Conducción Categoría C1 and operational permits from Colombian transport authorities. Real-time flight monitoring ensures seamless transfers regardless of terminal changes or delays.

Transfer insights for Bogotà-El Dorado Airport

El Dorado operates two terminals: Terminal 1 (T1), the main hub for international arrivals and Avianca flights, and Terminal 2 (T2), a newer domestic-focused facility. Passengers clear immigration, collect baggage, and exit to the arrivals baggage-hall exit where Transfeero drivers hold name signs. Official taxi counters (Taxi Imperial) operate nearby, but the forecourt enforces strict pickup sequencing; unregistered pickups incur fines.

The primary route to Bogotá centre runs via Avenida El Dorado (also called Calle 26), covering approximately 15 km to central neighbourhoods like La Candelaria or Chapinero. Under normal conditions, the journey takes 30 minutes; however, peak congestion between 7–9 AM and 5–8 PM regularly stretches this to 90 minutes or more. The motorway merges with city traffic near the city centre, where bottlenecks form at major intersections.

Travellers must understand Pico y Placa, Bogotá's vehicle-restriction scheme that runs Monday to Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. Odd-numbered licence plates cannot circulate on odd-numbered dates; even plates on even dates. All tolls, congestion fees, and Pico y Placa compliance costs are fully included in the Transfeero fixed price—no hidden charges or surprise fees. Drivers hold the required Licencia de Conducción Categoría C1 and operational permits.

Booking a private transfer beats local alternatives: official prepaid taxis charge 55,000–75,000 COP (USD 14–19) but involve lengthy queues and inconsistent service; ride-hailing apps (Uber, Didi) surge during peak hours and require navigation to the applications pickup zone; TransMilenio buses cost only 3,550 COP but are overcrowded during rush hour and impractical with luggage. A pre-booked driver meets you immediately, handles your baggage, and navigates traffic intelligently, arriving on schedule regardless of delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers about transfers at Bogotà-El Dorado Airport — booking, pickup zones, local tolls, and what changes between terminals.

Where exactly does the driver meet me at El Dorado?
Your driver holds a name sign at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of whichever terminal your flight lands (T1 or T2). The meeting point is the same for all passengers. If your flight changes terminals after landing, the driver automatically adjusts at no extra cost—you don't need to contact us.
Are tolls or congestion charges included in the Transfeero price?
Yes, completely. All tolls, Pico y Placa compliance fees, and congestion charges are included in your fixed price. There are zero hidden fees or surprise costs, regardless of which roads your driver takes or what day of the week you travel.
What is Pico y Placa and how does it affect my transfer?
Pico y Placa is Bogotá's vehicle-restriction system (Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM). Odd-numbered licence plates cannot circulate on odd dates; even plates on even dates. Your Transfeero driver holds all necessary permits and handles this automatically. You'll experience no delays or extra charges.
How long is the drive from El Dorado to central Bogotá?
Normal traffic: approximately 30 minutes over 15 km via Avenida El Dorado. During peak hours (7–9 AM, 5–8 PM), allow 60–90 minutes to neighbourhoods like La Candelaria or Chapinero. Your driver monitors congestion in real time and chooses the best route.
What's included in the Transfeero service besides the drive?
Your fixed price includes the driver meeting you at arrivals with a name sign, a free 60-minute wait if your flight is delayed, and free child seats on request. Baggage handling is standard. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup.
How does Transfeero compare to Taxi Imperial or Uber from El Dorado?
Official prepaid taxis (Taxi Imperial) cost 55,000–75,000 COP but involve queues and variable service. Uber/Didi surge during peak hours and require you to navigate to the applications parking zone. Transfeero offers a fixed price, no surge, a driver waiting at arrivals with your name, and guaranteed luggage space—zero hassle.
Is the driver licensed to operate in Colombia?
Yes. All Transfeero drivers hold the Licencia de Conducción Categoría C1 (authorizing operation of public-service vehicles) and the required Tarjeta de Operación from Colombian transport authorities. You're in safe, legal hands.
Can I book a transfer if my flight lands at Terminal 2 instead of Terminal 1?
Absolutely. Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrivals feed into the same baggage-hall exit zone. Simply provide your flight number at booking; our system monitors it in real time. If your flight is redirected to the other terminal, your driver automatically adjusts—no extra cost or contact needed.
Is Transfeero available for late-night arrivals at El Dorado?
Yes, Transfeero operates 24/7 at Bogotá-El Dorado Airport. Late-night and early-morning transfers are available. The driver meets you in arrivals as usual, and Bogotá's roads are typically less congested after 10 PM, so journeys are often quicker.
How do I pay, and is tipping expected in Bogotá?
Payment is handled through the Transfeero platform before your journey—no cash exchange needed. Tipping is not obligatory in Colombia, though small tips for exceptional service are appreciated. All tolls, permits, and city charges are included in your quoted price.
Do I need to arrange the Pico y Placa permit myself?
No. All Pico y Placa compliance, including permits if needed, is handled by Transfeero and included in your fixed price. You don't need to check restrictions or purchase anything extra. The driver manages every legal and regulatory detail.
