I recently posted a similar question in the Argentina forum and I appreciate everyone's response (thank you avrooster and scarlett). Can someone advise on the best (i.e. reliable, affordable, etc.) transportation to and from the Santiago airport? I appreciate the help and advice!

Transvip and Turtransfer are shared vans which take you to a specific address. the cost is per person and varies according to the sector of the city and how far away it is from the airport. They run between US$10-12. If there are two of you, you might prefer a taxi. Again it depends where you are headed, but roughly US$30-33. Both can be paid and booked inside the customs area, just before you exit into the public areas of the airport. This avoids the avalanche of drivers who hang around that exit and ensures a safe ride. You do not tip either of these services.
We took the van once and was ok. Although ,being this a few year back, the vans in Santiago
( also the one that took us for a city tour) were the most uncomfortable I have seen in a long time, have they changed them? Coming out of those vans I felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.......
I used the Transvip which wasn't much hassle from airport to hotel. I think on returning to the airport I would take a taxi as they wanted too much lead time.
