Taxis
The many taxi drivers that await you at the exiting of customs at the airport are probably the easiest way for you to get to your destination but not necessarily the cheapest option. If you are traveling with one or more friend, it may be about on par with the cost of one of the shuttles. All rates for taxis should be negotiated prior to entering the car. Lately, I have been hearing of people being charged excessive amounts. A ride to the hostel from the airport should only cost you 10.000 to 12.000 pesos (about US $25) for the car regardless of the amount of people so do not let them charge you anything much higher than this.

Airport Shuttle
There are a couple of good airport shuttles that, if you are traveling alone, can be a good option if you do not want to pay the higher cost of the taxis. Both TransVip and Turbus have shuttles that are available in front of the arrivals area, just outside the doors. The charge for TransVip is 4.500 pesos to the hostel. The only downside to the shuttles of course is that you may have to wait for other people to be dropped off before you are brought to your location.

Airport Buses
There are two airport buses, one run by Turbus and the other by Centropuerto, that will take you from the airport to one of several Metro stations but only as far as downtown Santiago. This is the cheapest option with fares running only about 1.200 pesos. Below is a list of destinations that are served by each company. Both companies will bring you to Metro station Los Héroes, which is about a 20 minute walk to the hostel.
