Angra dos Reis to Rio de Janeiro: Shared Transfer

A three-to-four-hour drive replaces the hassle of taxis or public transport between coastal towns.

A shared transfer from Angra dos Reis to Rio de Janeiro takes you to airports or hotels in the main neighborhoods with a professional driver, air-conditioned vehicle and travel insurance. The trilingual support team contacts you the day before via WhatsApp to confirm pickup at your inn, hotel or the tourist wharfs, and the driver meets you there to begin the journey. Satellite-tracked vans and minibuses are monitored in real time and maintained weekly.
