Transfer Options from Santiago Airport to City Centre

There are two 24/7 buses connecting Santiago Airport to the city centre, the TurBus and the Centropuerto. The TurBus terminates at the Santiago Central Station, Terminal San Borja, passing by the city centre metro and bus stations, and runs every 20 minutes from 05:00 to 00:00 and every 60 minutes during the night. A single ticket costs €2.50 (1,900 CLP) and a return ticket costs €4.50 (3,400 CLP). The Centropuerto bus terminates at Los Héroes, following the same route as the TurBus, and runs every 10 minutes from 06:00 to 23:30 and every 30 minutes during the night service.

All single bus tickets regardless of the company cost €2.50 (1,900 CLP). Similarly, return tickets cost €4.50 (3,400 CLP). You can buy your tickets, both for Centropuerto and TurBus, on the first floor of the Airport Public Hall, at the desks or directly from the bus driver on board the bus.

The only big advantage when travelling by bus, is that buses are much cheaper than taxis. Not only is carrying around large luggage challenging, you need to be vigilant as there have been cases of mishandled items during bus journeys. Also, if you arrive late at night, you may have to wait up to 60 minutes for a bus, keeping in mind that you will have to finish your journey by foot or taxi as the bus route has specific stops.
