The airport page lists the ways to leave JPA, but it does not publish fares. This page therefore explains how each option is priced instead of quoting figures we cannot source.
Price by transport type
Taxi: the airport page lists a taxi stand at the terminal entrance, open 24 hours, without a fare table. Ask how the price is calculated before you set off.
Fixed-price private transfer
JPA Alto do Mateus
From€30for 2 passengers
Bus line 5601 Aeroporto: the airport page lists departure times but no fare. Ask the operator for the current fare and route.
Ride-hailing apps: the fare is shown in the app before you confirm and varies with demand and time of day.
Pre-booked transfer: a fixed price quoted at booking, shown as the live quote on this page. Confirm what is included.
What affects the price
Destination: our route data places the city centre about 12.6 km away and beach districts such as Bessa and Cabo Branco roughly 22-23 km away (approximate figures). Cabedelo is about 34 km away.
Time of day and traffic: ride time and app fares can change with traffic and demand.
Vehicle size: a larger group or more luggage may need a larger vehicle.
Bottom line
Because fares are not published, the clearest way to know your price in advance is a pre-booked transfer. Use the live quote on this page for your destination.
