What is included

The journey

Novo Hamburgo is at the end of the Trensurb line and on the BR-116. It is also where the recommended Gramado route via Taquara leaves the BR-116 for the RS-239.

Arriving at Porto Alegre Airport

Salgado Filho is inside the city, close to the centre, and uses a single passenger terminal, Terminal 1. It closed in May 2024 because of the Rio Grande do Sul floods and reopened gradually from October 2024, with a repaved runway and full operations by December 2024. Arrivals are on the first floor, and your driver meets you there.

How long it really takes

Maps says 45 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.

1
Taxi and disembark10–15 min
2
Passport controlNone inside Schengen. 15–45 min from outside it.
3
Baggage reclaim10–25 min with hold luggage
4

The drive45 min

Realistically, 75 to 120 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.

When to book

Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.

A week aheadJuly, August, Fridays and Saturdays. The busiest arrivals of the year.
As soon as you have the flightGroups of five or more. Vans and minibuses go first, always.
Two or three daysLanding between 23:00 and 06:00. Fewer drivers are working.
The day before is fineEverything else. The same morning usually works too.

Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.

Before you land

Reopened after the 2024 floodsThe airport was closed by the May 2024 floods and returned gradually from October 2024. The runway was repaved and the airport is cleared for 24-hour and international operations.
One terminal, arrivals on the first floorOnly Terminal 1 is in use. Arrivals are on the first floor and departures on the third, and your driver waits at the arrivals exit.
The Aeromóvel is still out of serviceThe people-mover to the Trensurb station was damaged by the floods. Rebuilding started in September 2026 on a 12-month schedule, so the rail link is not an easy option with luggage for now.
Most passengers head to the Serra or the coastGramado, Canela, Bento Gonçalves and the beaches of the Litoral Norte are all common onward trips. Each has more than one possible route, and road conditions vary.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Porto Alegre Airport to Novo Hamburgo?

About 45 minutes for the 42.5 km, outside peak traffic. Your driver knows the route and follows the flight, so a delayed landing moves the pick-up rather than costing you the transfer.

How much is a transfer from Porto Alegre Airport to Novo Hamburgo?

From R$221.79 for up to four passengers, and R$339.41 for a group of five or six in a van. The price is fixed when you book — tolls and taxes included, nothing added at the end.

What happens if my flight is late?

We track the flight number you give us. The driver waits and adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting after the plane touches down.

Where do I meet the driver at Porto Alegre Airport?

In the arrivals hall after you clear customs. The day before your trip we send you the driver's name, phone number and vehicle, and they contact you with the exact spot.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full. On many routes you can also book without paying and we only charge the card 48 hours before you travel.

Is the transfer private or shared?

Private. The vehicle is for your group only: no other passengers and no other stops on the way to Novo Hamburgo.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. One price covers everyone in it, up to the seats of the vehicle you choose.

Which car will I get?

It depends on the size of your group. Sedan: Skoda Superb, Toyota Camry or similar; Premium Sedan: Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series or similar; Van: Mercedes Vito, VW Caravelle or similar; Large Van: Mercedes V-Class, Ford Tourneo or similar; Minibus 12: Mercedes Sprinter or similar · or 2 vans; Minibus 16: Mercedes Sprinter or similar · or 2 vans. These are examples: we do not guarantee a particular make or model, but we do guarantee enough seats and enough space for normal luggage.

How much luggage can I take?

One suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per passenger is included. Skis, golf clubs, bicycles or an unusual number of bags: tell us in the notes when you book, so a vehicle with room for them is sent.

Can I get a child seat?

Tell us in the booking notes, with the child's age, and we pass it to the driver. Where the law requires a child seat, travelling without one is not possible.

Who will drive me?

A licensed local transport company that works with Airportlink. We check its operating licence and insurance before it can take bookings, and again when they expire. The day before, you receive the driver's name, phone number and vehicle.

Can I book the return from Novo Hamburgo to the airport?

Yes. Add the return when you book, or book it on its own later, also at a fixed price. For pick-ups away from the airport the driver waits 15 minutes free from the booked time.

When do I pay?

When you book, or — on many transfers — later: you book without paying, your card is stored securely with Stripe and charged 48 hours before pick-up. You are told the exact amount and date when you book.

Can I contact you before I travel?

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at +1 951 579 7412 — for a price, a change to your booking or anything about the trip — or email support@airportlink.app.
