In my experience, airport taxis in Rio are a complete con!! The first time my husband and I arrived in Rio we bought tickets from one of the 'proper' taxi desks. However, by the time we actually got into the taxi our little ticket stub,with the price on it, had been crossed out 3 times and the price had increased by R$20!!! While I realise this is not a huge amount of money to those of us travelling from Europe it's still not a great feeling knowing someone is essentially robbing you!

Since this first trip, 3 years ago, we have used Rio Airport Transfer, who offer an unmarked, private taxi service between the international airport and anywhere you want to go in Rio de Janeiro city.

We have found them to be absolutely splendid, their customer service is impeccable, and they typically offer additional travel advice, particularly on hotels and the location of our hotel - very helpful.

I would highly recommend their service.
