Praia Airport to Cidade Velha Transfer: Private or Shared

Skip the taxi queue and arrive on your own schedule

A private or shared transfer from Praia Airport to Cidade Velha (or the reverse) with a professional driver, door-to-door service, and free waiting time until pickup. Choose private for solo travelers and small groups, or shared daytime service if you're flexible on timing. Parking is included. Specialized infant seats are available.

The experience

The transfer takes about 30 minutes from the airport to Cidade Velha. You pick the option that fits your arrival: private service runs from 7 pm to 7 am, so late-night landings and early departures stay in your control. Shared service runs 7 am to 7 pm and pairs you with other travelers heading the same way. Either way, the driver meets you at the airport and takes you directly to your accommodation: no stops, no detours.

Free waiting time means you don't pay extra if your flight is delayed or if you need a few minutes to collect your bags and clear arrivals. The vehicle is chosen to fit your group size: one to three passengers travel in a car with room for three medium suitcases and three small bags. Parking fees are covered in the price, and if you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available at no extra charge.

The driver speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or French, so communication is straightforward from pickup to drop-off. Service animals are welcome on board.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 11 years): free; Infant (under 3): free.

How do I know which option to book? Private or shared?

Private service (7 pm to 7 am) gives you a dedicated vehicle and driver on your schedule, best for late arrivals, early departures, or if you prefer not to share. Shared service (7 am to 7 pm) pairs you with other passengers heading to Cidade Velha, which costs less if your flight lands during daytime hours.

What if my flight is delayed and I arrive later than expected?

Waiting time is free and unlimited, so there's no charge if your plane is late. The driver will wait at the airport until you meet them.

How much luggage can I bring?

The standard vehicle for one to three passengers holds three medium suitcases and three small pieces of hand luggage. If you have more bags, let the operator know when you book so they can arrange a larger vehicle if needed.

Can I book a return transfer from Cidade Velha back to the airport?

Yes, the transfer works in both directions. You can book from Cidade Velha to Praia Airport using the same private or shared options, depending on your departure time.

Is there a car seat for my infant?

Specialized infant seats are available. Request one when you book so the driver has it ready for your arrival.
