The company have a car/driver sorted for us for the rest of the trip but for reasons unknown we've got to sort ourselves out in getting to Copa.
Any help appreciated!
You can safely take a regular yellow taxi from the airport. Expect to pay about R$60, more if more traffic or further toward Ipanema. Alternatively, the company can spring for 40% more and you can take a pre-paid taxi (for which you can pay by credit card). You will be solicited for this service by a number of attractive young ladies as you exit through the international area of the airport. Get your receipt slip and show it to the driver outside. Private car/driver service seems excessive for this short trip IMO.
