Find coaches from Santiago to Mendoza

One of the worst bus journeys ever taken, rude staff, poor communication with no explanation for 7 hour delay at boarder control

My partner and I took a bus from Santiago to Mendoza and it was great. The bus was clean, had movies on the entire time and seatbelts that worked. The only problem was getting our luggage on the bus and how many times we had to tip the porters. Not everyone was able to put their luggage beneath, and we had to fight to get ours stored. The border crossing also took over an hour, but I don’t think that was the bus company’s fault.

The actual bus ride was fine. Comfortable and safe. The ten hour wait at the Argentina border crossing was ludicrous - no excuse for it. This is not Andesmar’s fault at all.

Very comfortable seats and a spectacularly scenic route across the Andes to Mendoza... but be sure to pack your own food and drinks for the day as there are no refreshment stops.

Very comfortable seats. The bus was well driven and safe. The driver & attendant were freindly and helpful.

Fantastic comfortable bus. Friendly helpful staff. Thought confirmation email could have had choice of being in English as well that would have made it easier for us

Staff on bus and those packing and unpacking bags were very rude and expected tips. We have never experienced that in any other country. It was a very uncomfortable 😕

1 - Unfriendly staff; 2- Driver exceeding the speed limit (audible alarm triggering frequently); 3- Driver smoking during the trip and the smell of the cigarette went into the passenger cabin; 4- changing buses without informing the passenger; 5 - delays on the route, a bus from another company that left 1 hour after the Ahumada bus from the Santiago terminal arrived at the same time at the border with Argentina

Left on time but had to change buses due to maintenance so added 45 minutes to the trip.

Don’t respond to emails. Buses operate with another name- impossible to find the bus

The journey said 9am to 4pm on my ticket and we did not arrive until 10.45pm

I was a bit disappointed with the bus trip from Santiago to Mendoza. The boarding was not well communicated, and their was no indication we actually had to present ourselves to the Andesmar counter first, as all our booking info showed Tramat. Much better instructions about the boarding is really needed. The terminal itself is pretty crowded and this can make it stressful. We had the downstairs premium seats and these were comfortable. The ticket indicated TV and A/C were available. Not that I wanted it, but TV wasn't available, and the A/C only seemed to work part of the time. It got up to 28°C inside for the middle 2 hours of the trip. 2 hour immigration stop not much fun, but not the bus's fault. Didn't enjoy being hassled for tips numerous times on the trip, and also pretty disappointed to see the driver/attendant throwing their rubbish out the window as we were driving. The scenery was good, but I would definitely fly next time.

Loved the comfort of the bus. Email could have been more helpful by telling us we needed to check in to get physical tickets from the Andemar kiosk before travelling.

It was super comfortable, very professional drivers, including the help on the Argentina border, we made it safe and on time to Mendoza. Really good experience
