Flights & Car Rental in Colombia
Getting around Colombia usually means a mix of domestic flights (for longer distances, like Medellín to Cartagena) and rental cars (for regional trips, like the Coffee Region or day drives from Medellín). Here's where we book both.
Flights
Compare and book domestic and international flights, including bundled options with travel insurance included.
Car rental
For road trips through the Coffee Region, day trips to Guatapé, or simply having your own vehicle in a city with limited public transport, a rental car gives you flexibility that buses and rideshares can't match.

Flight tips
Compare airlines and departure airports, check included baggage and change policies, and book early for holidays. Domestic flights are a good option for long distances.
Car rental
You will need a valid driver license and a credit card for the deposit. Ask about mandatory insurance and extra coverage, deposit, mileage and zone restrictions. Check the vehicle condition on pickup.
Driving in Colombia
Traffic and mountain roads can be demanding, and some cities have restrictions such as pico y placa. Consider whether you really need a car in cities with good public transport.
