Airport transfer at Galeão, Santos Dumont and the Port of Rio
Unique Rio provides private airport transfers at Galeão International Airport (GIG), Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) and the Port of Rio, with a driver waiting at arrivals holding a name sign, flight monitoring and a direct ride to your hotel, home or office.
No taxi queues and no ride-hailing apps: the driver is already at the airport when you land, tracks your flight status and adjusts the pickup time if it is delayed.
