Car hire at Cartagena Rafael Nunez Airport

Even though the airport operates 24h, the car hire agencies at the airport are open between 07:00 and 19:00 or 22:00. If you land an hour or two before your agency opens, or you depart a few hours after the agency closes, we suggest waiting, or arriving earlier, to avoid being charged out-of-hours fees by the agencies. Remember, cars are rented per 24h, so if you are late or delayed, you will be charged extra.

You can find all the agencies just outside the Domestic/National Arrivals terminal. Follow the clearly marked signs, and you should find the right one without difficulty.

Typically, you can expect unlimited mileage, a full to full fuel tank policy, free cancellation (within the specified cancellation period), instant confirmation and basic insurance protection. They also allow the use of an electronic confirmation form, to simplify and speed up the process. Always verify information when you receive your booking confirmation.

Colombia requires that you have both your driving permit and a corresponding international drivers document so that you can drive a rental car. If you make a pre-paid booking (which is usually cheaper), remember that you need to present the credit card you used to pay, when you collect the car.

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Cartagena Rafael Nunez airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Confort Rent A Car, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Localiza, MEXRENTACAR , and National.
