- We track the flight; if it lands early or late, the pickup moves with it.
- After baggage claim, your driver is in arrivals holding a sign with your name.
- You go straight to your accommodation, no stops.

What to expect leaving Galeao
After landing, the time until you reach arrivals varies with immigration, customs and baggage claim. That is why the driver is not parked at a fixed hour: they follow your flight and adjust. When you come out with your bags, look for the sign with your name; if you cannot see it, message us on WhatsApp and we guide you.
The road to Buzios
The route leaves Rio's north zone, crosses Guanabara Bay over the Rio-Niteroi bridge and continues by highway toward the Lakes Region. The last stretch changes from fast road to the quiet streets of the peninsula. There are tolls on the way and they are already included in your price.
What we need to book

Who usually picks this route
