Transportation to Airport from Sao Paulo City Center
Governor Andre Franco Montoro Intl. Airport
Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport is the primary airport serving the city of Sao Paulo Brazil. The airport is locally referred to as Cumbica Airport and is located 25 km from the city center. The city’s structure itself is a bit complex with heavy traffic so visitors can experience some difficulty getting to and from the airport. The easiest methods of transportation to get to the airport from the city center is by taxi or bus. Renting a car is another viable option to get to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport; there are many rental car companies located throughout the city.
Taxi
Taxis are a convenient transportation alternative to get to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport from the city center. The safest taxis can be found on the main streets; we recommend avoiding any taxis on the smaller, side streets. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the airport from the city center by taxi. You can also have the hotel you are staying at help arrange a taxi for you.
Bus
Another easy method of transportation to get to the airport from the city center is by bus. Buses collect passengers from the bus stops located throughout the city. To get to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport from the city center you can take bus routes 259 or 316. These buses usually take 30 minutes to get to the airport, but that can vary depending on traffic conditions in the city. Buses run every hour, so make sure you’re at the bus stop on time. Otherwise you’ll have to wait an hour for the next bus.
Rental Car
Renting a car is another way to get to the airport from the city center. It is also a great alternative for getting around in the city during your trip. However, keep in mind that traffic conditions in the city can be quite confusing. You can rent a car on a daily or weekly basis. Rental car fares are determined according to the amount of days the vehicle is rented for. Renting a car for one day just to go to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport will be more expensive than taking a cab, making it a less desirable transportation alternative to get to the airport.
