2 – Service Preparation

For flights arriving at GIG or SDU, your landing time is monitored in real time.
This allows the driver to adjust arrival in case of delays in landing, immigration or baggage claim.

Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with the lead traveler’s name.
For pickups outside airports, the driver will also display a sign at the agreed meeting point.

To maintain punctual service, the following free waiting times apply:

Airport pickups (GIG or SDU): up to 1 hour after the flight lands.

City pickups (outside airports): up to 15 minutes at the pickup address.

After this tolerance period, additional waiting may not be guaranteed and depends on driver availability.

6 – Luggage Assistance
The driver will assist with loading and unloading your luggage and guide you to the vehicle.

7 – Private Transfer Experience
Relax and enjoy a safe, comfortable and air-conditioned private ride, with professional service throughout your journey.

8 – Drop-off
Drop-off will be performed only within the area corresponding to the option selected during booking
(e.g., Copacabana/Leme, Ipanema/Leblon, Barra da Tijuca, Centro, Recreio).

The exact drop-off address must be written in your reservation so the route can be scheduled correctly.
