I suggest either A Taxi:

Taxis
Advantages: Comfortable, fast
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive, variable reliability and price

Taxis are usually black and yellow or all black in color, and display their minimum fare in the windshield and the rate per 200 meters. These fares depend upon the condition of the car, the nature of the driver, and the area serviced. It's a free market so be aware and ask questions beforehand, although most city taxi drivers are trustworthy. Fares are likely to double at night after 9pm, and the more expensive taxis are to be found waiting in front of hotels and other tourist locations All taxis have meters that should be turned on when you enter the car. If you wish to have a taxi bring you here, it is best to strike up a deal with the driver for a set price rather than a metered drive which will likely be much more expensive. Not all taxis will be willing to do this for a reasonable fee, again, much will depend upon the nature of the driver.

Or

Cascada de las Animas Transport

Advantages: Easy, fast, comfortable and efficient.
Disadvantages: More expensive for single travelers

This is by far the easiest and fastest method to get here. Their drivers are very familiar with the Santiago metro area and they can arrange to have you met or dropped off by our van at any location in Santiago or the surrounding area including hotels, parks, shopping centers or the international airport. Their vans can carry up to 10 passengers and their luggage comfortably

You'll be flogged by people offering to help with transportation. When you arrive there will be an information kiosk with about six companies represented. Transportation in chile, though not cheap, is top notch, so don't worry about anything. Except the yellow buses. :)
