\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you already try UBER in Bogot\u00e1? Tell us some tips that can help us out or maybe you had a funny experience with your UBER driver or ask us any questions in the comments below, and if you haven\u2019t downloaded the app yet, you can find it in the play store for Android and also in the AppStore for iOS.  Also remember that the app works with data or wifi, (which can find in almost every place in Bogot\u00e1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver. One of them told me that he had to act like a boyfriend once and it was so awkward for him (lol!).  But as I said before, UBER is working to be legal, so that\u2019s why they tell you to be in the co-pilot seat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice your Span<\/a>ish<\/a>! UBER drivers prefer a nice and talkative person, remember you will be the co-pilot, so seize the moment and ask about what\u2019s new in Bogot\u00e1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nYou and your friends need more than 5 seats? Go for a van! It is more comfortable and fun than going in two separate cars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me.

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transportation in a different country, in this case, Colombia, we usually go for what we already know, or well, that\u2019s what I did at first as a foreigner living in Bogot\u00e1. Nowadays I use public transportation<\/a>, like the bus, taxis, and Transmilenio for short trips and if I go out at night or for long trips, UBER is still my first choice, because of all the services they offer (i.e. payment method, navigation apps that allow the driver to find the best route, etc.). So, while UBER in Colombia is in the works to be a legal transportation option, you should follow these tips to do it as Colombians do, because believe me, it\u2019s a whole new world!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me. Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car.

In many cases, UBER is our first choice for transportation and Colombia wouldn\u2019t be an exception, but before starting your trip be aware of how it works here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a lot of information (food, neighborhoods, places of interest, etc.) that can help you prepare for your stay and make it an incredible visit!<\/p>\n","post_title":"Tips for your arrival to El Dorado airport in Bogot\u00e1","post_excerpt":"Here are some tips so that your passage through our main airport in Bogot\u00e1, El Dorado, is just as perfect as the rest of your stay.\r\n","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"airport-in-bogota","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-08-09 15:41:56","post_modified_gmt":"2019-08-09 20:41:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/colture.co\/?p=794","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":640,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2018-08-06 14:25:41","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-06 14:25:41","post_content":"\n

In many cases, UBER is our first choice for transportation and Colombia wouldn\u2019t be an exception, but before starting your trip be aware of how it works here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transportation in a different country, in this case, Colombia, we usually go for what we already know, or well, that\u2019s what I did at first as a foreigner living in Bogot\u00e1. Nowadays I use public transportation<\/a>, like the bus, taxis, and Transmilenio for short trips and if I go out at night or for long trips, UBER is still my first choice, because of all the services they offer (i.e. payment method, navigation apps that allow the driver to find the best route, etc.). So, while UBER in Colombia is in the works to be a legal transportation option, you should follow these tips to do it as Colombians do, because believe me, it\u2019s a whole new world!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me. Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver. One of them told me that he had to act like a boyfriend once and it was so awkward for him (lol!).  But as I said before, UBER is working to be legal, so that\u2019s why they tell you to be in the co-pilot seat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice your Span<\/a>ish<\/a>! UBER drivers prefer a nice and talkative person, remember you will be the co-pilot, so seize the moment and ask about what\u2019s new in Bogot\u00e1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nYou and your friends need more than 5 seats? Go for a van! It is more comfortable and fun than going in two separate cars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you already try UBER in Bogot\u00e1? Tell us some tips that can help us out or maybe you had a funny experience with your UBER driver or ask us any questions in the comments below, and if you haven\u2019t downloaded the app yet, you can find it in the play store for Android and also in the AppStore for iOS.  Also remember that the app works with data or wifi, (which can find in almost every place in Bogot\u00e1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, UBER is our first choice for transportation and Colombia wouldn\u2019t be an exception, but before starting your trip be aware of how it works here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transportation in a different country, in this case, Colombia, we usually go for what we already know, or well, that\u2019s what I did at first as a foreigner living in Bogot\u00e1. Nowadays I use public transportation<\/a>, like the bus, taxis, and Transmilenio for short trips and if I go out at night or for long trips, UBER is still my first choice, because of all the services they offer (i.e. payment method, navigation apps that allow the driver to find the best route, etc.). So, while UBER in Colombia is in the works to be a legal transportation option, you should follow these tips to do it as Colombians do, because believe me, it\u2019s a whole new world!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me. Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver. One of them told me that he had to act like a boyfriend once and it was so awkward for him (lol!).  But as I said before, UBER is working to be legal, so that\u2019s why they tell you to be in the co-pilot seat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice your Span<\/a>ish<\/a>! UBER drivers prefer a nice and talkative person, remember you will be the co-pilot, so seize the moment and ask about what\u2019s new in Bogot\u00e1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nYou and your friends need more than 5 seats? Go for a van! It is more comfortable and fun than going in two separate cars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you already try UBER in Bogot\u00e1? Tell us some tips that can help us out or maybe you had a funny experience with your UBER driver or ask us any questions in the comments below, and if you haven\u2019t downloaded the app yet, you can find it in the play store for Android and also in the AppStore for iOS.  Also remember that the app works with data or wifi, (which can find in almost every place in Bogot\u00e1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to take a taxi it's better to grab the authorized ones. When you go outside there are several rows that indicate where you can wait for the taxis: in gates 2, 3, 5 and 6 of Terminal 1 and in the arrivals gate of Terminal 2. Take into account that the taxis have an airport surcharge of $ 4,400 COP ($1.5 USD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver. One of them told me that he had to act like a boyfriend once and it was so awkward for him (lol!).  But as I said before, UBER is working to be legal, so that\u2019s why they tell you to be in the co-pilot seat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice your Span<\/a>ish<\/a>! UBER drivers prefer a nice and talkative person, remember you will be the co-pilot, so seize the moment and ask about what\u2019s new in Bogot\u00e1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nYou and your friends need more than 5 seats? Go for a van! It is more comfortable and fun than going in two separate cars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you already try UBER in Bogot\u00e1?

From the airport, you can use public transport or take a taxi (How Taxis Work in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to take a taxi it's better to grab the authorized ones. When you go outside there are several rows that indicate where you can wait for the taxis: in gates 2, 3, 5 and 6 of Terminal 1 and in the arrivals gate of Terminal 2. Take into account that the taxis have an airport surcharge of $ 4,400 COP ($1.5 USD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For public transportation, you can use the Transmilenio Route \u201cK86\u201d on terminal 1, floor 1, exit 8. This Transmilenio is a dual bus, running from the Santa Fe Foundation (Santa B\u00e1rbara neighborhood<\/a>) to the El Dorado Airport and back. This bus goes up \u201cCalle 26\u201d and then takes \u201cCarrera 7\u201d until it reaches Calle 117. Also, it can take you to El Dorado Portal (first stop) where you can take another Transmilenio to any place in Bogot\u00e1. To use this service you need to have the Transmilenio card called \u201cTu Llave.\u201d You can get yours at the airport on Terminal 1, Entrance 4, First Floor. Our article Apps to Help You Get Around Bogot\u00e1 can help you be prepared from the start of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also take the Feeder Route \u201c16-14\u201d on terminal 1, floor 1, exit 6, this one is free until you reach the El Dorado portal. In the portal, you can acquire the card to use the service and from there grab another Transmilenio for wherever you need to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be useful for you to read our articles on transportation in Bogota to have more information if you want to use public transport during your stay: \u201cBogot\u00e1 Basics For Transportation<\/a>\u201d and \u201cHow to read a Transmilenio map\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, UBER is our first choice for transportation and Colombia wouldn\u2019t be an exception, but before starting your trip be aware of how it works here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transportation in a different country, in this case, Colombia, we usually go for what we already know, or well, that\u2019s what I did at first as a foreigner living in Bogot\u00e1. Nowadays I use public transportation<\/a>, like the bus, taxis, and Transmilenio for short trips and if I go out at night or for long trips, UBER is still my first choice, because of all the services they offer (i.e. payment method, navigation apps that allow the driver to find the best route, etc.). So, while UBER in Colombia is in the works to be a legal transportation option, you should follow these tips to do it as Colombians do, because believe me, it\u2019s a whole new world!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me. Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver.

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Transportation <\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the airport, you can use public transport or take a taxi (How Taxis Work in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to take a taxi it's better to grab the authorized ones. When you go outside there are several rows that indicate where you can wait for the taxis: in gates 2, 3, 5 and 6 of Terminal 1 and in the arrivals gate of Terminal 2. Take into account that the taxis have an airport surcharge of $ 4,400 COP ($1.5 USD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For public transportation, you can use the Transmilenio Route \u201cK86\u201d on terminal 1, floor 1, exit 8. This Transmilenio is a dual bus, running from the Santa Fe Foundation (Santa B\u00e1rbara neighborhood<\/a>) to the El Dorado Airport and back. This bus goes up \u201cCalle 26\u201d and then takes \u201cCarrera 7\u201d until it reaches Calle 117. Also, it can take you to El Dorado Portal (first stop) where you can take another Transmilenio to any place in Bogot\u00e1. To use this service you need to have the Transmilenio card called \u201cTu Llave.\u201d You can get yours at the airport on Terminal 1, Entrance 4, First Floor. Our article Apps to Help You Get Around Bogot\u00e1 can help you be prepared from the start of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also take the Feeder Route \u201c16-14\u201d on terminal 1, floor 1, exit 6, this one is free until you reach the El Dorado portal. In the portal, you can acquire the card to use the service and from there grab another Transmilenio for wherever you need to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be useful for you to read our articles on transportation in Bogota to have more information if you want to use public transport during your stay: \u201cBogot\u00e1 Basics For Transportation<\/a>\u201d and \u201cHow to read a Transmilenio map\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, UBER is our first choice for transportation and Colombia wouldn\u2019t be an exception, but before starting your trip be aware of how it works here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transportation in a different country, in this case, Colombia, we usually go for what we already know, or well, that\u2019s what I did at first as a foreigner living in Bogot\u00e1. Nowadays I use public transportation<\/a>, like the bus, taxis, and Transmilenio for short trips and if I go out at night or for long trips, UBER is still my first choice, because of all the services they offer (i.e. payment method, navigation apps that allow the driver to find the best route, etc.). So, while UBER in Colombia is in the works to be a legal transportation option, you should follow these tips to do it as Colombians do, because believe me, it\u2019s a whole new world!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nNormally UBER drivers like to call or text you when they are close to the pickup location, so if you don't have an international sim card you can buy one for 3US$ (almost 6.000 COP) at the airport, or use the wifi at the airport and then buy a sim card in another place.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are choosing a payment<\/a> method, you can use cash, Paypal, Google pay or card (credit or debit). At first, I preferred using my card because I didn't know how to manage the currency well, but nowadays it\u2019s all the same to me. Sometimes, I use the card because I don't like to have cash (I spend it fast!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, when your UBER is contacting you, it could be because there are a lot of taxis<\/a> at your pickup location, so they might be asking you to be quick in locating them and getting in the car. There is a situation between taxis and UBERs: to make it short, taxi drivers think UBER is taking their jobs, so UBER drivers always try to be discreet to avoid any problem with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your UBER arrives, remember the driver\u2019s name and the car\u2019s plate number, this way you will prevent losing time taking out your cell phone to double-check this information, plus you will be the road faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThe front seat always has to be occupied, that way the police and the taxi drivers will think it\u2019s a family member or a friend who is picking you up. At first, this was really strange for me and because I was curious, I asked a few UBER drivers if they had experienced a situation where a policeman or a taxi driver suspected him of being an UBER driver. One of them told me that he had to act like a boyfriend once and it was so awkward for him (lol!).  But as I said before, UBER is working to be legal, so that\u2019s why they tell you to be in the co-pilot seat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice your Span<\/a>ish<\/a>! UBER drivers prefer a nice and talkative person, remember you will be the co-pilot, so seize the moment and ask about what\u2019s new in Bogot\u00e1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nYou and your friends need more than 5 seats? Go for a van! It is more comfortable and fun than going in two separate cars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in a hurry and want to save money, you can ask for an UBER pool<\/a>, an option which is in a few countries around the world. You will share UBER with other people who are going to the same place or closer, but consider it an opportunity to make new friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nAre you too tired to bike back to your place? Or are you going to a specific spot? UBER can pick up you and your bicycle too! I personally haven\u2019t used this service because I like to enjoy the special routes that Bogot\u00e1 has for bicycles, but I know that this service is not available all the time and in all places in Bogot\u00e1.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nIn some cases, in Bogot\u00e1, due to traffic, the fee can change during the trip, but don\u2019t worry! After reviewing your trip in the app, report it and UBER (most of the time) will return the difference you paid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also not only for the traffic or rush hour, because of an event too, but prices can also increase when comparing it to other hours or days. So be aware! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need a ride to the airport? Through the UBER app, you can schedule a trip the day before the flight, just follow these steps<\/a>, select the gate of the El Dorado airport<\/a> you will need to be dropped off and you will have your UBER set on time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nFinally, be fair with the rating<\/a>, behind every UBER driver, there is a dedicated person who puts all his effort to keep his car clean and functional to give exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you already try UBER in Bogot\u00e1? Tell us some tips that can help us out or maybe you had a funny experience with your UBER driver or ask us any questions in the comments below, and if you haven\u2019t downloaded the app yet, you can find it in the play store for Android and also in the AppStore for iOS.  Also remember that the app works with data or wifi, (which can find in almost every place in Bogot\u00e1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
