Bogota City Car Hire

Usaquén is one of Bogotá's most affluent and charming northern districts with colonial buildings, restaurants, and the popular Sunday market – and now you can pick up your rental car right here. With one rental agency in the area, you won't have to travel to the center or airport to get a car. Usaquén is approximately 12 km north of La Candelaria and 20 km from El Dorado Airport.

Usaquén borders Chía to the north and is known for its picturesque plazas, Parque Usaquén, and the lively restaurant strip along Calle 119. From here it's 10 minutes to Autopista Norte toward Zipaquirá and Tunja, and 20 minutes south to Zona Rosa and Parque 93. The area is one of Bogotá's safest and most tourist-friendly districts.

Visit the Sunday market at Parque Usaquén and combine it with a car trip to Chía, just 15 km north. Park in one of the private parking buildings along Carrera 7 – avoid street parking at the market on Sundays. Driving south toward La Candelaria takes approximately 25 minutes via Carrera 7 outside rush hours.

How far is it from Usaquén to El Dorado Airport? Approximately 20 km west, normally 40–60 minutes via Calle 26 or Autopista Norte and then west. Can I drive to Guatavita Lake on a day trip?

Yes, Guatavita is approximately 75 km northeast of Usaquén, about 1.5 hours via the highway toward Tunja. Is Usaquén a good base to explore northern Bogotá? Absolutely – by car you can reach Chía in 15 minutes, Cajicá in 25 minutes, and Zipaquirá in 45 minutes north.
