Terminals

Location
Galeao International is located roughly 20km (12 miles) north of downtown Rio de Janeiro. It takes around thirty minutes to make the drive. Thanks to the Antonio Reboucas Tunnel, it takes about the same amount of time to drive from the airport to Ipanema.

Car rental desks
The rental desks for those companies that are located at the airport can be found in the arrivals area of Terminal 2. ServeSul is located in the parking garage of the Casa Show near the airport. Foco Aluguel de Carros is located nearby, too.
Nearest gas station
There is a Torremolinos gas station at the entrance of the airport between Estrada do Galeao and Av. Vinte de Janeiro. Unfortunately, the station reportedly only accepts cash. This may certainly be a problem for international renters that are leaving the country and might not have enough Brazilian currency left.
Another option is a Petrobras station on Av. Vinte de Janeiro. It will require those returning cars to make a small circle as it is on the opposite side of the road. However, it does accept cards and is just a stone’s throw away from the rental car returns.
