Sao Paulo to Santos

[chrob]

We have arranged our own flights so cannot book transfers through RCCL.

 

Does anyone know the cost of a taxi from Sao Paulo to Santos or any tour operater who we can ask for a transfer quote?

The distance is about 75k so it takes 2hrs.

Perhaps if you ask over on the south American boards you will have more luck...

 

Why do you say you cannot have transfers - if your flight arrives the day of the cruise then you can take the transfer - it costs £30pp one way.

We arrive in Brazil 1 week before the cruise because we want to see the Rio carnival and then go to Iguassu Falls. I have checked with RCCL and they have confirmed that we cannot have their transfers as we are not arriving on that day.

Yup - you're right - definitely no transfers for you!

You may also want to ask this question on the South America board http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76 There may be somebody over there that has a suggestion of a good transport company who does not read the RCCL board.

We've gotten transfers before from our TA and just went to the airport the day of the cruise and got on their bus. We did this at DW in Orlando. We didn't have a problem.

I've beenon the SA boards and from the hotel area (Hyatt & Hilton) to the pier is about $75 according to the posters on the thread.

Thank you all for the replies. I think we will probably take a taxi on the morning of the 10th.

We did this transfer with a private cab company. It costs about $75. A taxi would be about the same. They are plentiful, you should have no problem if you negotiate the fare in advance.

 

One poster says that it is 75k so takes 2 hours. This is not quite true. Our trip was 90km, but because it was a Sunday, only took just over 1 hour. It depends on trafic and time of day.

Do you have the name of the company that you used?
