Rio de Janeiro Airport Transfers — Galeão (GIG) & Santos Dumont

Private transfers from Galeão (GIG) and Santos Dumont (SDU) to Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and Barra da Tijuca.

Galeão is around 20 km north of the beach districts and Santos Dumont sits right beside downtown. A pre-arranged driver with a fixed fare is the calmest way to reach the Zona Sul after a long flight.

Applicable tolls and tunnel charges are added to the exact quote before payment, so nothing changes on arrival.
