Travel Time From the Airports
OK, so Rio traffic has a personality of its own. The distance is only around 24 km (about 15 miles), but the journey time can vary depending on traffic, weather, events, or whatever surprises Rio decides to throw in that day. Here’s what to expect on average:
GIG → South Zones: 50–70 minutes
SDU → South Zones: 25–35 minutes
South Zones → GIG: ~90 minutes (especially during busy hours)
South Zones → SDU: ~45 minutes
Top tip: Always allow around 90 minutes for travel back to the airport. Better to be early with a coffee than late and stressed.
About Group Transfers
Group airport transfers are all about starting your Rio trip together and without the hassle. Instead of splitting into multiple taxis or coordinating arrivals, everyone travels in one comfortable vehicle, making the journey feel calm and organised from the outset.
It’s especially ideal after a long flight, when the last thing you want is confusion or waiting around. With everything arranged in advance, your group can relax, chat, and settle into the rhythm of Rio as soon as you land.
Even better, there’s no need to worry about logistics on the day. Your driver is waiting, your route is planned, and your group arrives together, ready to enjoy the city from the very first moment.

Yes, absolutely. We can provide transfers to and from most locations within Rio de Janeiro.
Ok, so this is an interesting question. Traffic in Rio can be horrific, depending on the day of the week, time of day, weather conditions, security issues etc. Generally, it will take approximately 60 minutes to travel from Galeao International Airport to Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon areas, and up to 75 minutes to Barra da Tijuca.
As with transfers to your accommodation, return transfer times can depend on many factors. We always advise allowing 90 minutes for the return transfer from Copacabana, Leblon, Ipanema back to Galeao International Airport. This allows for unexpected delays. Please keep in mind that we can’t predict if there will be delays, or how long they will be.
No problem. If you can’t find the destination on our booking for, contact us and we’ll be happy to provide a quote.
