Using yellow taxis, those itineraries will cost without traffic:

Sheraton Barra-Ipanema: R$43-50
Sheraton Barra-Centro: R$65-77

If your instructor offers that kind of service, sure.

You mean that you got 2 nights in Barra and 2 nights in Copacabana?

Having a car at your disposal in Barra is always a good thing. If it should be you driving, that's another story.
