Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Montevideo Airport (MVD) in Uruguay to Ciudad Vieja, Pocitos, Carrasco and downtown Montevideo, plus Punta del Este, José Ignacio, Piriápolis and Colonia del Sacramento.
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 Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso 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.
Airport transportation in Montevideo covers the capital and Uruguay's coast: we drive you from Carrasco International Airport to hotels and apartments in Ciudad Vieja, Pocitos, Carrasco and downtown Montevideo, east to Piriápolis, Punta del Este and José Ignacio, and west to Colonia del Sacramento.
Our Montevideo airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall on the ground floor, just outside the customs and baggage claim exit, where your driver waits with a sign bearing your name. We track your flight, so the driver is there when you land.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Montevideo airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a hotel in Ciudad Vieja, an apartment in Pocitos, a beach rental in Punta del Este or a guesthouse in Colonia del Sacramento.
Our Montevideo airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and beach gear, so it suits families and groups heading to Punta del Este or José Ignacio for the summer, and business teams going into Montevideo.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport (MVD), usually called Carrasco International Airport, is Montevideo's airport and Uruguay's main international gateway. It sits in Ciudad de la Costa, in the department of Canelones, next to Montevideo's eastern Carrasco neighborhood and beside the start of the Ruta Interbalnearia to the coast.
All flights use one terminal, opened in 2009, with arrivals and departures on separate floors. You clear immigration, collect your bags (trolleys are available in the baggage hall) and pass customs before entering the ground-floor arrivals hall, where a 24-hour exchange office and the airport information desk are located.
Uruguay stays on UTC−3 all year and does not use daylight saving time.
Entry documents. Bring a valid passport and check visa rules for your nationality. Citizens of Mercosur countries can enter Uruguay with their national ID card.
Food at customs. Uruguayan customs restricts fresh fruit, vegetables, plants, meat and many animal products. Leave snacks behind or declare them.
Offers in the arrivals hall. Ignore unsolicited ride offers inside the terminal and look for the driver holding your name sign.
Summer on the coast. December to February is the busy season in Punta del Este, so book your transfer early if you travel then.
