Montevideo Airport Transportation

Your driver waits in the public arrivals hall on the ground floor, just outside the customs and baggage claim exit, holding a sign with your name.

Carrasco International Airport is about 19 km from downtown Montevideo. Travel time depends on traffic on the main avenues into the city, which is heaviest at weekday rush hours.

Not quite. It sits just outside the city limits, in Ciudad de la Costa in the department of Canelones, next to Montevideo's Carrasco neighborhood. It is the main airport serving the capital, and its IATA code is MVD.

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, apartments and offices in Ciudad Vieja, Pocitos, Carrasco, downtown Montevideo and the rest of the city. Give us the full address when you book.

Yes. The Ruta Interbalnearia, the coastal highway east to Punta del Este, starts beside the airport, so your private transfer goes straight to your hotel or rental without going into Montevideo first.

Yes. We drive along the coast to hotels, houses and beach rentals in Piriápolis, José Ignacio and the other towns of Maldonado. Give us the exact address or property name when you book.

Yes. Colonia del Sacramento is west of Montevideo, and a private transfer takes you there directly, without changing vehicles at the Tres Cruces bus terminal with your luggage.

All flights use the single terminal at Carrasco, opened in 2009, with arrivals on the ground floor. Every airline arrives through the same hall, so there is no terminal to check.

Yes. Give the building name, apartment number and any concierge or gate instructions when you book, so your driver can find you and load your bags without delay.

Uruguayan customs restricts fresh fruit, vegetables, plants, meat and many animal products. Leave snacks behind or declare them when you land.

You need a valid passport, and some nationalities also need a visa. Citizens of Mercosur countries can enter Uruguay with their national ID card. Check the current rules for your nationality before you travel.

No. Ignore unsolicited offers inside the terminal and look for your pre-booked driver with your name sign.

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or apartment in Montevideo, or from Punta del Este, José Ignacio or Colonia del Sacramento. All flights leave from the single terminal.

Uruguay stays on UTC−3 all year, with no daylight saving time. The currency is the Uruguayan peso (UYU), and a 24-hour exchange office operates in the arrivals hall.

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that takes travelers between the airport and their hotel or address; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other airport information, see our Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport page.
