It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 6 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public area outside the arrivals exit of the terminal, at the national or the international arrivals side depending on your flight, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
The Old Town of Cartagena de Indias is the walled colonial centre on the Caribbean, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with churches, plazas and balconied houses inside the 16th to 18th century ramparts. Rafael Nunez Airport sits in the Crespo district on the northern side of the city, about 6 km from the walls. Most cars follow Avenida Santander, the coastal road that runs past Marbella beach and along the sea-facing walls before turning in through the gates near the Clock Tower. At busy times the coastal road and the streets around the Clock Tower slow down.
Inside the walls the historic centre is split into the El Centro area, with the Cathedral, Plaza de Bolivar and Plaza de Santo Domingo, and the quieter San Diego quarter to the north, home to many small hotels and the Las Bovedas arcades. Streets are narrow, often one-way and partly pedestrian in the evening, so cars pull up as close to the hotel door as the street allows. The Clock Tower Gate, Plaza de los Coches and the Convention Centre sit on the edge facing Getsemani and La Matuna.
Public transport instead: Transcaribe bus T102 (Portal - Crespo) from Crespo (stops in the Crespo district next to the airport) to Portal (via the Transcaribe trunk corridor), Mon-Fri 05:00-21:00, Sat 05:30-20:30, Sun and holidays 06:00-20:00. Urban buses (transporte publico colectivo) bus from Rafael Nunez Airport area to city routes, daily 06:50-23:45. There is no rail or metro link. The airport website lists Transcaribe trunk route T102 (Portal - Crespo), which runs through the Crespo district near the airport, and urban buses; reaching the walled city by public transport depends on the current Transcaribe routes and may need a change.
