Official prepaid airport taxis (e.g., Aerocoop, Aerotaxi) can be hired at booths in the arrivals hall for a fixed, zone-based fare. Standard yellow metered taxis are also available curbside. Ride-sharing services like Uber and 99 have designated pickup points outside the terminals.
Several major car rental companies, including Localiza, Movida, Unidas, Hertz, and Avis, have service desks in the arrivals area of Terminal 2. Booking in advance is recommended for better rates and vehicle availability.
The BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) TransCarioca line connects the airport directly to the metro system at the Vicente de Carvalho station (Line 2) and to Barra da Tijuca. Additionally, premium executive buses (known as 'frescão') offer comfortable, air-conditioned routes to the South Zone (Copacabana, Ipanema) and the city center.
Rio de Janeiro/Galeão – Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport is the main airport serving Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2019, it was the country's fourth-busiest airport by passenger traffic. It is named after the neighborhood of Galeão. Praia do Galeão is located in front of the original passenger terminal and where the galleon Padre Eterno was built in 1663. Since 5 January 1999 it is also named after Brazilian musician Antonio Carlos Jobim. Galeão Airport is explicitly mentioned in his composition Samba do Avião. It is the largest airport site in terms of area in Brazil.
Since 12 August 2014 it has been operated by the concessionary Rio Galeão, a consortium formed by the Brazilian investor Odebrecht and Changi Airport Group, with a minority participation of the government owned company Infraero, the previous operator. The new concessionary has been using the brand name RIOgaleão – Aeroporto Internacional Tom Jobim.
Some of its facilities are shared with the Galeão Air Force Base of the Brazilian Air Force.

i hope they managed to check into their flight
I´d like to check my reservation on FLIGHT G3 6785 for ALFREDO FARIOLI and MARTA SANCHEZ because I can´t print either the check in or the voucher. Thank you so much.
