Our driver was waiting right as we exited customs with a clear sign. The car was spotless and the drive to Copacabana was smooth. Felt very safe.
Muy puntual y amable. El conductor hablaba español y nos dio buenos consejos sobre la ciudad mientras viajábamos al hotel. Recomendado.
Good service. Traffic was bad getting into Rio but that's not the driver's fault. He knew some shortcuts which helped. Would book again.
Après un long vol, c'était parfait. Le chauffeur était là malgré le retard de notre avion. Véhicule très confortable et climatisé.
Booking was easy and confirmation instant. The driver helped with our heavy luggage. Much better than negotiating with taxis.
Friendly driver who pointed out landmarks like the Maracanã on the way. Water was provided in the car which was a nice touch.
Motorista educado e condução segura. Chegamos ao hotel no horário previsto. O carro era novo e limpo.
I was nervous arriving alone at night, but this service made me feel completely safe. The driver was professional and respectful.
