This eliminates fare negotiation and overcharging risk.Uber operates in a legal grey area in Colombia; InDriver is a common alternative. TransMilenio bus from the airport terminal (COP 3,000) is cheapest but crowded and luggage-unfriendly. Rental car desks are in the arrivals hall. The airport is about 15 km west of the city center via Av. El Dorado.
