Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Welcome Pickups – Airport Transfers & Travel Guide

Book a door-to-door transfer at the airport to your hotel for a hassle-free Rio start. Welcome Pickups greets you in arrivals, tracks your arrival time, and guarantees a clean, comfortable ride toward downtown or your chosen district. A driver holds a name sign, helps with luggage, and navigates traffic so you can step into your plans immediately.

Options include private cars, standard sedans for single travelers, and larger vans for groups. Inter-city routes connect Rio’s core with nearby coastal towns, including the Cabo region. For tailored solutions, contact support to confirm pickup times, language preferences, and vehicle type; all rides are door-to-door and priced upfront.

Arrival times vary by airport. At Galeão (jobim) you reach downtown districts in about 40–60 minutes in light traffic; peak windows push toward 60–90 minutes. The domestic gateway (SDU) offers quicker connections to central neighborhoods, often 15–30 minutes depending on the exact drop-off. Always factor a 10–20 minute buffer for baggage and lines at arrivals.

To book, open Welcome Pickups on your mobile or desktop, enter your arrival details, choose a vehicle, and confirm. The driver uses live arrival data to align pickup timing; contact support at any stage to tweak details. For inter-city plans or day trips to coastal areas like Cabo, select a multi-stop option with a single driver and fixed pricing. Your welcome ride awaits, smoothing the path to your door. If you ask what to expect, the driver will greet you at arrivals.
