CATA Internacional Mendoza Santiago recent customer reviews
Everything else excellent (especially thanks to nice & friendly staff, on my way from Santiago to Mendoza with Andesmar staff on board was quite angry and rude => Cata was _a lot_ better experience) - but one thing missing from the 5 star: get that wifi on board, please! At least for the part of the journey... Anyways: would recommend Cata (and not recommend Andesmar).
From the ticket office till I got on the bus, all staff gave the best drives to all customers. I enjoyed the ride from Mendoza to Santiago.
The bus was comfortable. But check in procedures were not clear and left us scrambling at the last minute. Our estimated arrival time was 6 but we arrived at 8. I know they cannot control the border but that should be calculated into the time.
According to customer reviews, there were several issues reported with the service. Some customers mentioned being stopped from boarding the bus due to a lack of evidence of their COVID vaccination, resulting in missed buses and lost money. Other complaints included not receiving reserved seats and experiencing bus breakdowns. However, it's worth noting that some aspects of the trip were exceptional.
Andesmar/Tramat/El Rápido Internacional Mendoza Santiago recent customer reviews
Very comfortable seats. Good legroom. I don't understand why the radiators were on full blast.
The trip met all of my expectations. Boarding with the electronic ticket and picture ID was simple. The bus was modern and clean and I appreciate the fact that the windows were very clean for the scenic trip over the Andes. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Enjoyed the route and that the bus left on time. The stop at the border was well organized. The driver seemed safe. Got to our destination on time.

Ahumada Internacional Mendoza Santiago recent customer reviews
The experience was wonderful. All bus drivers and staff very helpful. Argentina and Chile border control was seamless and easy. Scenery amazing. I will recommend Mendoza to Santiago journey to everyone.
This trip was a disaster. My bus ticket says 7:30am but in reality the bus leaves at 8:30am. Who knows why they put 7:30am. So 1hr late. Then we get to the Chilean border and we are delayed by 3hrs before some guy didn’t declare some fruits or something and they thought he was a criminal. Also the bathroom door didn’t close so the bus smelled the whole time. A trip that was supposed to take 7.5hrs took 12hrs. Probably the worse bus trip I’ve ever had. Don’t take it.
Booked a bus for 7.30am. Bus pulled in at 7.40am and said they were leaving at 8am. Why bother booking a bus at a certain time if it isn’t even going to plan to leave at that time? Didn’t leave at 8am. Ended up leaving at 9.30am.

Coitram Mendoza Santiago recent customer reviews
Tout s'est bien passé sauf qu'on avait un combi de 10 places et qu'on ne le savait pas, mentionné nulle part. Donc, des recherches à la gare routière. Trajet impeccable mais un chauffeur agressif, ne prenant pas soin de ses passagers.
Was expecting a bus with a toilet but it was just a van. Did not correspond with the description of what I booked.
Was very unsatisfied with my trip to Santiago. I booked the 8:32am bus and got to the station in plenty of time - I was then told my bus was at 9:00am with no prior warning. I didn't mind as it was only half an hour however we were then delayed over 5 and a half hours just past the chile border crossing. Whether this would have happened if I got the 8:32am bus I am not sure? I was also never told at any point what was going on and how long we would be waiting. Finally, and this goes for all buses in South America, the temperature of the buses is not healthy. They drop the temperature to below 20 degrees and then immidately increase it to 30 degrees. This change in body temperature caused me to get a fever in which I am still recovering.
