Chauffeured airport transfers in Rio

Brazil’s second-most populous city (after Sao Paulo) is served by two airports: Rio de Janeiro/Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG) and Santos Dumont Airport (SDU). SDU is the closest—just 5 minutes from the city center and 10 minutes from Rio’s iconic beaches. However, most international travelers will land at GIG which is 30 minutes north of central Rio. The easiest way to travel between the airport and the city center is with a private Blacklane chauffeur, who will transfer you directly from the airport arrivals hall to your hotel or accommodation. When you book a Blacklane taxi alternative, you won’t need to navigate public transport or wait in line for a taxi. Use your luxury Rio airport transfer to catch up on a few emails or relax in the spacious backseat. Simply greet your private, English-speaking driver at the airport and enjoy a direct and comfortable journey into central Rio De Janeiro.

Seaside bliss in Rio De Janeiro

Beachside Rio De Janeiro is one of Brazil’s most famous cities. Best known for its iconic golden beaches and carnival atmosphere. When you land at Rio International Airport, look out the window to catch a glimpse of the Christ the Redeemer statue which keeps watch over the city. Your first stop should be Copacabana beach, which is 2.5 miles of golden sand and idyllic surf. Just next door is Ipanema, another famous beachside hotspot, known for stores, restaurants, nightlife, and galleries—and the 1960s song ‘Girl from Ipanema.’ If you want to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city, book a private car service from your hotel in Rio De Janeiro to Tijuca National Park, the world’s biggest urban forest. Here you can enjoy stunning hikes through thick jungle and spot some of the bird species that call this place home. When you book a Blacklane airport pickup from Rio De Janeiro, you can waste no time getting to enjoy this stunning city.
