Bus

Public and metropolitan buses depart from the airport and are usually the most economical option.

Metro / Train

There is no metro station directly inside the airport terminals, but travelers can use the free airport shuttle to reach Aeroporto-Guarulhos Station on CPTM Line 13-Jade.

Car Rental

Car rental companies have offices at Guarulhos Airport, with vehicle pickup arranged near the terminal exits or via rental-company shuttle areas. Renting a car can be useful for onward travel outside São Paulo, but it is usually less convenient for the city center because of traffic, tolls, and parking.

  • Rental desks are available at the airport terminals.
  • Pickup instructions are provided by each rental company after booking.
  • Plan for heavy traffic on routes such as Rodovia Presidente Dutra and Marginal Tietê.
