The airport is in the south of Ilha de Santa Catarina, while Ingleses is in the north. This journey is worth planning: if you intend to spend your days near your accommodation, you may only need transport on arrival and departure. If you want to explore several beaches, compare the cost of getting around during your stay too.
Distance, route and travel time
Allow for roughly 40 km by road between the airport and the Ingleses area, depending on your accommodation address and the route chosen. The distance listed by Rome2Rio is approximate, not a measurement of your own journey. Before setting off, check navigation using the full address and review traffic conditions.
Road access to the north of the island follows the SC-401 (Rodovia José Carlos Daux) and SC-403 (Rodovia Armando Calil Bulos) corridor to reach Ingleses. From the terminal, follow navigation to this corridor and then to your accommodation address. Roadworks, congestion or your final destination may change the route; this guidance does not replace up-to-date directions.
Allow time for disembarking, collecting luggage and meeting your driver, as well as the journey itself. Do not treat a travel estimate without traffic as a guaranteed arrival time: journeys can take much longer in peak season, on public holidays and at busy times. For your return flight, allow for the airline’s required arrival time, traffic and any car return arrangements.
How much to budget for Uber or an airport transfer
| Option | One-way budgeting example | How to use this figure |
|---|---|---|
| Uber from the airport to Ingleses | R$ 100 | Illustrative estimate suggested by Bumba; check the current quote in the app. |
| Airport transfer to Ingleses | R$ 150 | Illustrative estimate suggested by Bumba; request confirmation for your date and group. |
| Rental car | Quote for your rental period | Compare the full rental cost, fuel, parking and extras. |
To illustrate the budget, two trips at R$ 100 add up to R$ 200; two at R$ 150 add up to R$ 300. This simply multiplies the one-way examples. The return trip may cost a different amount, and outings during your stay are extra.

Ingleses refers to a public reference point, not Bumba’s office or a passenger’s location. A different address may change the price. Beach and neighbourhood names do not represent the entire area.

Ride-hailing: check the fare and pickup point
Floripa Airport states that Uber operates at the airport and that there are signposted pickup and drop-off points. Follow the terminal’s current guidance and the location shown in the app; do not assume pickup is at a particular door. Request your car when you are ready to leave, and check the license plate, driver and luggage capacity.
Compare Uber, 99 and inDrive at the time of your journey, where available for your route. Do not apply the R$ 100 Uber example to other apps. The displayed price, time needed to find a driver and ride terms may differ. In peak season, higher surge pricing and difficulty finding a driver may affect your choice.
Airport transfers: what to arrange before you travel
A transfer can be useful if you want to arrange your arrival in advance, especially when traveling with children or luggage, or landing at night. Send your flight number and accommodation address, and ask how you will meet the driver. Get written confirmation of the vehicle, capacity, child seat, any waiting time for flight delays, cancellation terms and total price. An inquiry is not a confirmed booking.
Rental cars: compare the whole trip
If you plan to visit beaches in different areas, calculate the rental cost for the full period. Add fuel, parking and any extras you actually need. Check protection, the deductible, security deposit, fuel policy and pickup and return times. The security deposit may reduce your available credit limit, but it is not a final expense if released in accordance with the contract.
Arrange with Bumba where and how you will pick up and return the car. Do not assume delivery at the terminal is included. If your stay is focused on Praia dos Ingleses, a transfer or ride-hailing service with a few local rides may make more sense than keeping a car parked.
Before choosing
- Accommodation: use the exact address, not just the beach name.
- Your group: confirm seating, luggage capacity and a child seat if needed.
- Arrival: allow for the flight, disembarking and possible delays.
- Return: make a separate estimate and allow extra time for traffic and returning the car.
- Comparison: see the rental car or ride-hailing guide and the three-day itinerary.
