Santiago de Chile → Plaza de Armas Santiago: key facts

A private transfer from Santiago de Chile Airport (SCL) to Plaza de Armas Santiago costs €35 per car for 1–3 passengers and €50 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 18 km via Autopista Costanera Norte; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at — Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 1 for domestic flights — just after the exit from baggage claim and customs, 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.

Arturo Merino Benítez Airport lies in the commune of Pudahuel, about 18 km west of Plaza de Armas. The usual route leaves the airport on Ruta 68 and joins the Costanera Norte urban motorway, which follows the Mapocho River east into the city and exits close to the historic centre. The Costanera Norte and the other urban motorways of Santiago use electronic free-flow tolls with no toll booths. Outside rush hours the drive takes about 20 to 30 minutes; on weekday mornings and evenings traffic into the centre is often slow.

Plaza de Armas is the historic square of Santiago, with the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Central Post Office and the National History Museum around it. The streets right around the square, including Paseo Ahumada and Paseo Huérfanos, are pedestrian, so the car stops at the nearest street open to traffic or at your hotel entrance. La Moneda Palace is about 700 m south, the Mercado Central a few blocks north by the river, and the Lastarria and Bellas Artes neighbourhoods with many small hotels lie about 1 km east, below Cerro Santa Lucía.

Public transport instead: Centropuerto bus Aeropuerto - Metro República from Santiago Airport bus station to Metro República (Line 1), every 15 min, daily, 1 change. No public bus runs from the airport to Plaza de Armas itself. Centropuerto, one of the two official airport bus services, goes to Metro República on Line 1; from there the Santiago Metro continues to the stations around Plaza de Armas.
