Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxi services (cooperatives) operate from a booth in the arrivals hall, offering pre-paid, fixed-price fares to different city zones. Ride-sharing services like Uber and 99 are also widely available for pickup at a designated area outside the terminal.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies have service desks inside the arrivals terminal. Major national companies like Localiza, Movida, and Unidas are present. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.

Public Transportation

A public bus line connects the airport to the main bus terminal (Rodoviária) in João Pessoa. This is the most economical option but can be less convenient for travelers with heavy luggage or those arriving late at night. There is no direct metro or train service to the airport.
