For delays longer than 30 minutes, our team will check the available alternatives according to the operation on that day. Rescheduling, another vehicle or an additional transportation service may be necessary and additional charges may apply.
This is especially important for shared transfers, because other passengers may also be waiting for the scheduled departure.

The vehicle may make additional pick-ups before continuing to the final destination.
For this reason, shared transfers follow an operational schedule and are different from private transportation.

CULTURA
O Brasil não é apenas um país de paisagens deslumbrantes. É um país construído por histórias, tradições, festas populares, romarias, músicas, danças e celebrações que atravessam gerações. Para preservar essa riqueza cultural, o Congresso Nacional aprova leis que reconhecem oficialmente diversas manifestações como parte da cultura nacional. Essas leis não existem apenas para homenagear uma tradição. Elas ajudam a proteger a memória coletiva, fortalecer o turismo, incentivar a economia local e garantir que essas manifestações continuem vivas para as próximas gerações.
