São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport

São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport sits approximately 25 kilometers northeast of central São Paulo. Public transit options include the CPTM Line 13-Jade train, which stops at Aeroporto-Guarulhos station. A free automated people mover, AeroGRU, links the station to Terminals 1, 2 and 3 (it opened to the public in February 2026 and is being phased in, so check its hours). For direct road transit, official airport taxis (such as Guarucoop) and rideshare apps like Uber operate from designated zones. Executive airport buses connect GRU to key city hubs like Avenida Paulista, Congonhas Airport, and major bus terminals. Driving times vary wildly from 40 minutes under optimal conditions to well over 90 minutes during peak rush hours.

Wireless internet across GRU is broadcast via the .GRU WIFI network. The airport provides free basic access sessions, though connection speeds routinely throttle during heavy international departure waves, and drop-offs are commonly reported near older boarding gates in Terminal 2. For power, availability is heavily lopsided: Terminal 3 is modern, featuring integrated floor sockets, USB ports, and powered seating columns. Conversely, landside zones and Terminal 1/2 public areas require careful scouting, as functional wall outlets are sparse outside of designated restaurant spaces.

Official on-site vehicle storage is managed via multi-story garage structures (Edifício Garagem) connected primarily to Terminal 3, alongside surface parking sectors across the complex. Recent guides put the official daily rate at roughly R$70 to R$104 (about US$13 to $19), depending on covered or uncovered spaces, and short stays at around R$8 to R$10 per hour. Check the GRU Airport site for the current tariff. Budget-conscious travelers frequently utilize off-site perimeter lots—such as Penta Carpark or Ponce Park—which provide scheduled van shuttles to the terminals.
