In the arrivals area, once you pass customs, there
is always a mass of people – great working conditions
for a purse-snatcher
or pickpocket. Keep track of your luggage and don’t
get distracted!
Be careful with the large number of taxi
drivers in the arrival area in the Santiago airport.
They insistently offer their services and immediately
try to take the cart with suitcases if you are the least
bit diplomatic. The majority of them don’t have
a license nor passenger insurance, and in many cases
they appear in a beat-up vehicle. There have been cases
of travelers being swindled by illegal taxi drivers.
Therefore: Refuse all of the offers with a firm „No,
gracias“ and direct yourself with purpose towards
the exit or towards the counter of an authorized company.
At ContactChile we organize for our clients the transfer
from the airport with the
official company TurTransfer whose counter is close
to the baggage-claim area before you pass through customs. More
