Car Rental at Olaya Herrera Airport EOH (EOH)

Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) is Medellín's closest airport, located in the heart of the city in the Belén neighborhood, just 4 km from downtown. With one rental company on site, it's a convenient option for domestic flights to destinations like Quibdó, Apartadó, and Nuquí. The airport is compact and vehicle pickup is quick.

EOH is located in the Belén neighborhood near Avenida Regional and Río Medellín. From here, it's approximately 8 km to El Poblado and around 30 km to José María Córdova Airport. The Belén neighborhood has a quiet, local character with markets and cafés along Calle 30.

EOH primarily handles propeller planes and smaller jets to remote destinations – perfect if you're flying in from the Pacific coast and need a car right away. Book your rental car in advance since there's only one rental company and availability may be limited. Don't drive into Belén during football matches at Estadio Atanasio Girardot (approximately 2 km away) – traffic comes to a standstill.

Which destinations are served from EOH? EOH serves domestic destinations like Quibdó, Apartadó, Nuquí, Bahía Solano, and Carepa – often remote places without good road connections. How do I get from EOH to downtown Medellín?

Is it possible to return the rental car at MDE instead? Contact the rental company directly – one-way rental between EOH and MDE may be possible but will likely incur an additional fee.
