Private Transport – LAWN | CINNAMON
The most useful thing about this service is that it turns a long airport-to-mountain transfer into a private ride with no shared shuttle schedule to chase. You are met at Porto Alegre Airport arrivals, then driven roughly 120 kilometers toward Gramado, with the option to stop for leather goods and shoes along the way.
I like the small-group price, especially for four people, and I like the practical comfort: air conditioning, private transport, and child seats are included. The tradeoff is simple: this is a transfer, not a sightseeing tour, so the leather stop is optional and the drive can still take two to three hours.
Key points to know before booking

- Private ride for up to four people: Your group travels alone, with no shared shuttle stops.
- Airport pickup is clearly arranged: Meet the driver at the arrivals area with a sign bearing the passenger or agency name.
- The route covers about 120 kilometers: Plan on roughly two to three hours, depending on road conditions and any shopping stop.
- Leather shopping is optional: The route passes through New Hamburgo and Três Coroas, known for leather goods and shoes.
- Child equipment is included: A highchair, baby comfort seat, and booster seat are listed as available.
- Service has earned strong praise for punctuality and courtesy: Past drivers named Paulo, Rodrigo, Cristiano Apio, and Jean received specific compliments for safe, polite service.
Leaving Porto Alegre Airport without the usual fuss

An airport transfer is not glamorous, but it can make the first hour of a trip much easier. After a flight into Porto Alegre, you do not need to work out a bus connection, negotiate a taxi, or guide a driver through an unfamiliar hotel district.
Infinity Turismo arranges pickup at the desembarque, or arrivals area of Salgado Filho International Airport. The driver is expected to hold a sign with the passenger’s name or the agency name. That detail matters in a busy terminal, since it gives you a clear meeting point instead of leaving you to search through a crowd.
You should still keep your booking details and accommodation name handy. For airport pickup, the important information is your arrival plan. For the final drop-off, the company asks for the hotel, pousada, or residence address when you book.
The airport is at Av. Severo Dullius in the Anchieta district of Porto Alegre. From there, the route heads north toward Gramado in the Serra Gaúcha. The service is private, so you are not waiting for unrelated passengers to land or making several hotel stops before your own ride begins.
That private setup is especially useful for a family with luggage, a couple arriving after a long international flight, or a group of four that wants to stay together. It also gives you a direct line to the driver rather than leaving you to manage several stages of public transport.

A 120-kilometer ride toward Gramado

The stated driving time is about two to three hours, covering approximately 120 kilometers. That is a useful planning range, but do not treat it as a guaranteed arrival time. Traffic, weather, road conditions, and an optional shopping stop can affect the total.
The ride passes through the leather route associated with New Hamburgo and Três Coroas before reaching Gramado. The transfer therefore has a little more flexibility than a simple point-to-point taxi. If you want to buy shoes, bags, jackets, or other leather goods, you can ask about stopping along the way.
I would think of this as a practical shopping option, not a full retail excursion. The information does not promise a set store, a fixed amount of shopping time, or a special shopping guide. If you are interested, confirm the plan with the company before departure so everyone agrees on the extra stop and timing.
If you are eager to reach Gramado, skip the shopping and keep the ride direct. If you have room in your schedule and want a useful Brazilian purchase, the leather route may make the transfer do double duty. That is the kind of choice a private car gives you.
The ride itself is described as taking place in a comfortable vehicle suited to the number of people. Air conditioning is included, which is important after a flight and helpful on a warm day. The listing does not specify a particular car model, so larger groups should provide accurate luggage and passenger details when booking.
Why private transport can be worth the price

The listed price is $119.38 per group of up to four people, not per passenger. At the full group size, that works out to about $29.85 each before any currency conversion or personal costs.
That is where the service makes the most financial sense. A family or group of friends can split the cost while keeping the convenience of a direct airport pickup and hotel drop-off. For one person, the same price is harder to justify unless privacy, comfort, or a smooth arrival matters more than finding the cheapest bus.
You are paying for more than the kilometers. The price includes a private vehicle, air conditioning, a driver, airport reception, and delivery to the accommodation address you provide. You are not paying for meals, drinks, attraction tickets, or other extras, and none of those are part of the transfer.
The value also depends on your schedule. If you land at an awkward hour, have children, or carry bulky luggage, a direct ride can save both time and stress. If you are a solo backpacker with a flexible timetable, a shared or public option may cost less.
The service has also been praised for fair pricing, new vans, punctuality, and polite drivers. Those comments point to the areas that matter most on a transfer: showing up, driving safely, and doing what was arranged. They do not mean every ride will have the same vehicle or the same driver, so treat the named staff as examples, not a guarantee.
Drivers and the human side of the ride
Several drivers connected with this service have been specifically named: Paulo, Rodrigo, Cristiano Apio, and Jean. Their duties included airport and intercity transfers, and past customers highlighted courtesy, punctuality, safe driving, and clear support.
You may not receive one of those particular drivers. Still, the names give you a useful sense of the company’s operating style. The service also handles communication through WhatsApp, which can be helpful for confirming arrival details, passenger names, and the exact accommodation address.
A private driver can do more than turn the wheel. You can ask about the timing of the leather stop, confirm the drop-off point, and make sure child equipment is ready. The available information does not promise a formal tour guide or a narrated route, so book this for transportation first, with local help as a useful extra.
That distinction keeps expectations sensible. You are not buying a guided cultural outing with scheduled attractions. You are buying a direct transfer handled by a company that also offers tour services in the Gramado area.

Child seats, luggage, and group size
The service is suitable for up to four people. Child equipment listed as included covers a highchair, baby comfort seat, and lifting seat, which appears to refer to a booster or raised child seat.
If you are bringing a baby or young child, give the company the child’s age and seat needs when booking. The available information does not state how many of each seat are carried or how much luggage the vehicle can hold. Accurate details help the provider assign a suitable vehicle.
For four adults with large suitcases, vehicle space could be the main practical question. The company says vehicles are selected according to the number of people, but passenger count does not always tell the full luggage story. Ask before booking if your party has several large cases, sports equipment, or bulky items.
Service animals are allowed. Most people can take part, and this is a private activity, so only your group participates. There is no indication of a separate accessibility program, so anyone with mobility requirements should discuss the vehicle and loading arrangements directly with the provider.
What the transfer does not include
This is a focused service, and that is a good thing if you need transport rather than a packed itinerary. It does not include tickets, food, or beverages when those items involve a charge and are not specifically described in the package.
The optional leather stop is also not presented as a paid shopping package. You should expect to pay for anything you buy yourself. If you want to stop, settle the timing with the driver so a quick purchase does not turn into an unexpected delay.
There are no stated attraction visits on the way. The main route is from Porto Alegre to Gramado, with the possibility of shopping near New Hamburgo and Três Coroas. Canela is mentioned in the service description, but the meeting point and stated destination here are Gramado. If your accommodation is in Canela or outside Gramado, confirm the exact drop-off before paying.
That point is worth checking because Gramado and Canela are close but not identical destinations. The company asks you to provide your hotel, pousada, or residence when booking, which should help clarify the final address.
How the arrival and drop-off work

At the airport, meet the driver at arrivals. Look for the sign with your name or the agency name, rather than assuming the driver will find you anywhere inside the terminal.
At the other end, the service is completed at the accommodation address you provide. The description refers to hotels, pousadas, and residences within a five-kilometer radius of Gramado’s city center for hotel-style pickup arrangements. If your lodging is farther out, confirm coverage and any additional details in advance.
I would save the full property name, street address, and a phone or WhatsApp contact before flying. Brazilian accommodation names can be similar, and a precise address is more useful than a booking nickname.
The company’s process is designed to remove guesswork, but your own preparation still helps. Keep your phone charged, watch for the sign, and allow enough time for luggage collection and airport formalities before expecting to meet the driver.
Cancellation and booking details worth noting
Confirmation is provided at the time of booking. The service allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts for a full refund.
If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start time, the amount paid is not refunded. Changes made inside that same 24-hour window are not accepted, and the cut-off follows local time.
That policy is fairly flexible for a transfer, but airport schedules can change. If your flight time moves, contact the company as soon as possible rather than waiting until the last day. The more exact your arrival and accommodation details are, the easier the pickup should be to manage.
Who will get the most from this ride
I would recommend this transfer most strongly to:
- Families who need child equipment and a direct hotel arrival
- Couples who prefer a private ride after flying
- Groups of three or four splitting the price
- Visitors who want the option of buying leather goods on the route
- Anyone who values a driver meeting them inside the airport arrival process
It is less compelling for a solo visitor focused only on the lowest price. It is also not the right choice if you want a full sightseeing program, several planned stops, or detailed commentary throughout the drive.
For a first arrival in the region, the practical strengths are clear: one vehicle, one group, one destination, and a driver who knows the transfer route. You can keep the trip direct or add a shopping stop if the timing works.
Should you book the Porto Alegre to Gramado transfer?
Book it if you want a private, air-conditioned ride from Porto Alegre Airport to a Gramado accommodation and you are traveling with up to three companions. The per-group price becomes much more attractive with four people, and the airport meeting arrangement, child equipment, and direct drop-off remove several common arrival hassles.
Before booking, confirm your exact destination, luggage needs, child-seat requirements, and whether you want the leather shopping stop. If you are traveling alone and have plenty of time, compare cheaper transport options first.
For families and small groups, Infinity Turismo offers a sensible balance of comfort, flexibility, and personal service. Just remember what you are buying: a well-organized transfer through the Serra Gaúcha, not a full tour of every stop between Porto Alegre and Gramado.
