The experience

Your driver meets you at Praia Airport the moment you clear arrivals. No waiting around for a shuttle, no negotiating with taxi drivers at the curb: someone's already there with your name, and the meter isn't running while you collect luggage or your flight lands late. The vehicle pulls up to your accommodation in Rui Vaz, and that's the transfer done. It takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic, and the driver knows the route.

The waiting time is unlimited and free, which matters more than it sounds. If your plane is delayed three hours or you need to sit in the airport café for a bit before heading out, the driver waits. You're not paying extra for it, and you're not scrambling to find another ride. The vehicle itself is sized to your group: comfortable enough for the drive, with room for three medium suitcases and three smaller bags, so you're not stuffing things into the overhead or leaving luggage behind.

Parking fees are covered, and the driver handles the route. If you need the return trip from Rui Vaz back to Praia Airport, you book it the same way: same professional service, same door-to-door model. Infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children, and service animals travel with you.

What’s included

Your transfer includes door-to-door pickup and drop-off between Praia Airport and your accommodation in Rui Vaz, free and unlimited waiting time at the airport, a professional driver, parking fees, and a vehicle sized to fit your group and luggage.
