Car Hire Campinas Airport

Forget about big cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Campinas Airport is the main gateway to all parts of Brazil. In terms of size, it is big enough to accommodate a big number of visitors at a go. There are hotels where to sleep cheaply, car rentals are in big numbers to make movement easier while social places make the city ever lively. In short, this is the ultimate entry point to Brazil for any visitor regardless of the destination.

Getting in and around

An airplane will be the only way for visitors from other countries to get to Campinas Airport. There are different flights that make their way on scheduled basis. Getting out of the airport to the city center, you will have four key choices to consider using:

• Shuttle buses - these operate every hour so you are assured of getting one for your movements. There are pretty cheap options that you will consider upon arrival. These buses have different stops from where it is easy getting connections to other cities and towns in Brazil.
• Car rentals - at least two car rentals operate from the airport with affordable prices for the economy class. You can pay up to R$70 in a day.
• Taxis - the fact that these taxis are not operated by companies but individuals means prices never remain constant. That will allow you to negotiate for a good offer so never get to a taxi without agreeing on the price.
• Local buses - these ply public transport and might not be a good choice if you have luggage. They make a lot of stops so the journey will be longer. Also, they are crowded for most of the times so you will not get enough space for your luggage. This option is cheap with buses operating in an interval of 30 minutes.
