Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport transfers

Private, fixed-price transfers from Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) to 15 destinations in Brazil. Your driver tracks your flight and waits if it is delayed.

Santos Dumont is the airport inside Rio: it sits on the edge of Guanabara Bay with its runway reaching into the water, right next to the old centre. That makes it unlike Galeão, the larger airport out on Governador island to the north, where most international flights arrive.

Because the city centre is already here, the question is usually which beach you are heading for. Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon are reached through the tunnels that cut under the hills to the south, and Barra da Tijuca lies further west again. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, the price covers the whole vehicle and your luggage and is fixed when you book, so traffic in the tunnels does not change it. The driver follows your flight, which is useful on a domestic hop that leaves early and lands early.

Where we drive

Frequently Asked Questions

We land at Santos Dumont and fly on from Galeão. Can you drive us across?
Yes. Book Galeão as the drop-off address and tell us your onward airline in the notes, so the driver leaves you at the right terminal.
Our flat is in Ipanema. Does the driver come to the door?
Yes, the drop-off is the address you enter. Give the building name or number along with the street, because several streets there change name along their length.
