Rent a car in Barranquilla: how Rodii works
Rodii is not a traditional rent a car company with a counter and its own fleet: it is a marketplace where you rent the car directly from its owner. That removes the middleman, and with it the high deposits and fine print the rental industry charges for.
The process is digital end to end and takes minutes: pick a car from the Barranquilla catalog, choose your dates and times, verify your identity online once and pay securely. Then you agree with the owner where to pick the car up.
Check-in and check-out happen from your phone, with photos of the car's condition recorded for both parties. No arguments when you hand it back.
Ernesto Cortissoz (BAQ) airport and door-to-door delivery
Ernesto Cortissoz is in Soledad, about 20 minutes from the north of Barranquilla. Many owners deliver there: you agree on a time and get the keys as you walk out, with no rental counter queue and no shuttle to an off-site office.
Inside the city there is door-to-door delivery too: the car reaches your hotel, apartment or office. In the catalog you can filter by airport or home delivery to see only the cars that offer it, and each listing states its coverage radius.
Where to pick up your car in Barranquilla
Rodii owners are spread across the city, so there is almost always a car near where you are staying:
- El Prado and Alto Prado
- The city's residential and hotel core. Plenty of supply and easy handovers.
- Villa Country and Villa Santos
- Restaurant and office district, well placed for getting around the north.
- Riomar and Buenavista
- Close to the malls and to the road out towards Puerto Colombia.
- Centre and Barrio Abajo
- Practical if your trip takes in the Caribbean Museum, Plaza de la Paz or Carnival.
- Soledad
- Right by the airport. The fastest handover if you are flying in or out.
What a rental car gets you around Barranquilla
Barranquilla is a spread-out city and a hot one: having a car changes the whole day, especially if your plans mix the north with the centre.
It is also the best base for touring the Caribbean coast. Puerto Colombia and its beaches are half an hour away; Santa Verónica and Salinas del Rey a little over an hour; Cartagena about two hours on the coast road and Santa Marta about two on the Ruta del Sol. Many travellers rent here and return the car after touring the coast.
If you are travelling for Carnival, bear in mind that roads close during the parades and that vehicle availability drops. Booking well ahead stops being optional on those dates.
What your rental price includes
The figure you see in the catalog is the car's daily price. Before confirming you see the full breakdown, with coverage and any delivery cost included: nothing shows up at the end or when you return the car.
Every Rodii booking includes SURA insurance coverage for the trip, and without the high deposits traditional car rental in Colombia asks for.
The final cost depends on the vehicle category, how many days you rent it, the season and whether you request home or airport delivery. All of it is calculated before you pay, not after.
