Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from São Paulo Guarulhos Airport (GRU) to Avenida Paulista, central São Paulo, Congonhas Airport and addresses across greater São Paulo.
Your driver waits at arrivals with a sign bearing your name, and your flight is tracked so a delay does not leave you stranded.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in GRU covers the whole São Paulo metropolitan area: hotels on Avenida Paulista and in República and Luz, apartments and offices across the city, the Tietê and Barra Funda bus terminals, Congonhas Airport and homes in Guarulhos itself.
Your driver for GRU airport transfers waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal, just outside the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. GRU has three separate terminals, so give your arrival terminal when you book and the driver will be at the right one.
We follow your flight, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly. Choose a sedan for a couple or business traveler, or a larger van for families and groups, and go door to door to your hotel, apartment, office or family home anywhere in greater São Paulo. GRU airport transfers run the other way too, from your address back to your departure terminal.
Our GRU airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: no shared stops at other hotels, and it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals. There is room for suitcases, strollers and business luggage, so it suits families, groups of colleagues and travelers connecting to Congonhas or the bus terminals.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) is São Paulo's main international airport. It sits in the neighboring city of Guarulhos, in the Cumbica district, which is why it is also called Guarulhos or Cumbica airport.
There are three passenger terminals. Terminal 1 handles Azul's domestic flights, Terminal 2 handles GOL and LATAM domestic flights plus several international airlines, and Terminal 3 handles international flights only. Terminals 2 and 3 are linked on foot, while Terminal 1 stands apart and is reached by the free people mover or shuttle bus.
After an international flight you pass Federal Police immigration, collect your bags inside your terminal and clear customs (Receita Federal); the arrivals hall is just past the customs exit. São Paulo uses Brasília time (UTC-3) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Brazilian e-visa. Citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia have needed a Brazilian e-visa since April 10, 2025, applied for online before travel through the official VFS Global portal. Many other nationalities can enter visa-free for tourism; check the rules for your passport before you fly.
Confirm your terminal. Terminal 1 is separate from Terminals 2 and 3, and some airlines fly both domestic and international from different buildings. Check your arrival terminal with your airline and give it when you book.
Ignore ride offers in the hall. People approaching you inside arrivals are not your driver. Look for your name sign and check the company name before you get in.
GRU is not Congonhas. São Paulo has a second airport, Congonhas (CGH), inside the city and for domestic flights only. Make sure your booking matches the airport on your ticket.
