While there are many alternatives that you can use, taxis and private shuttles are among the comfortable and fast options that you can use for your transportation to Salgado Filho International Airport, which is located approximately 10 kilometers away from the center of Porto Alegre, Brazil. If your priority is traveling at reasonable prices rather than comfort when traveling to the airport, you can use metro or buses that offer service for their passengers almost all day long in the city.
