Safe Transfers Colombia operates private transfers across Barranquilla and Atlántico — from Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport to El Prado, Alto Prado and Buenavista, out along Vía 40 and the river, and west to the beaches at Puerto Colombia. Vetted drivers, real-time flight tracking, and one fixed price agreed before you book.
Before You Book Ground Transport in Barranquilla
The Airport Is in Soledad
Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (BAQ) is not inside Barranquilla. It sits in the neighboring municipality of Soledad, 20 to 30 minutes to the northern hotel zone depending on the hour.
A River City, Not a Beach City
Barranquilla sits on the Magdalena, and the port and industry along Vía 40 shape how the city moves. The beaches are at Puerto Colombia and Salgar, about 30 minutes west. And for four days a year Carnaval closes long stretches of Vía 40 and the Prado, so routes are planned around the parade calendar.
One Fixed Number
There is no meter and no surge. Tell us the route, the date and the passengers, and we send back a fixed quote in USD, confirmed before you book. That holds through Carnaval week and on match nights at the Estadio Metropolitano, when curbside pricing does not.

What travelers say
“I used the service during a three-day work trip in Bogotá. Easy to coordinate, always on time, and very reliable. I would definitely book again for future business travel.”
“I just used this service for my arrival at the airport and it was flawless from beginning to end. The driver was waiting for us on time with a clear sign, helped with luggage and took us in a comfortable and clean vehicle.”
