Taxi or pre-booked transfer
If you arrive late, there are several of you or you do not want to wait: a taxi from Santiago airport to the city costs €23 (indicative fare published by Santiago Tourism). For distant destinations you can book a car with driver at a fixed price before you leave; these two sell it online: Kiwitaxi (affiliate link · same price) and GetTransfer (affiliate link · same price). I do not publish their prices because they depend on the day and the number of people: ask for a quote.
