Private Transport – LAWN | CINNAMON
Skip the airport scramble in southern Brazil. This private transfer links Porto Alegre Airport with Gramado in about two to three hours, using a comfortable air-conditioned car and a driver who handles the road while you settle in. I like the door-to-door hotel drop-off and the fact that the ride is private for up to four people. I also like the option to pause for leather goods and shoes along the route.
The main consideration is time. The drive covers roughly 120 kilometers, and traffic or a shopping stop can affect the arrival time. This is best viewed as a practical transfer with a little local flavor, not a full sightseeing tour with a fixed set of attractions.

Key Points Before You Book

- Private ride for up to four people: You get the vehicle to yourself rather than sharing with a larger group.
- Porto Alegre to Gramado in two to three hours: The route covers about 120 kilometers through the Serra Gaúcha region.
- Optional leather shopping: The road passes through New Hamburg and Três Coroas, part of the local leather route.
- Airport meet-and-greet: Your driver meets you at arrivals with a sign showing your name or the agency name.
- Child seating is included: A highchair, baby comfort seat, or booster seat can be provided.
- Strong service record: The company has a 5.0 rating from 54 ratings, with 100 percent of customers recommending it.
Leaving Porto Alegre Airport Without the Usual Fuss

Porto Alegre Salgado Filho International Airport is the starting point. The address is Av. Severo Dullius, 90.010, in the Anchieta district of Porto Alegre.
Your pickup takes place at the arrivals area, not at a vague curb somewhere outside the airport. The driver will hold a sign with your name or the agency name, making the first meeting easier after a flight. That small detail matters, especially if you have luggage, children, or limited Portuguese.
You should make sure the name used for the booking matches what you expect to see on the sign. The service description does not give a precise terminal meeting point, so keep your phone available and follow any instructions sent after booking.
The driver then takes you directly toward Gramado. You are not collecting other passengers, waiting for a full van, or making unrelated hotel stops. For a group of two to four people, that privacy is the main reason to choose this service over a standard shared shuttle.

The 120-Kilometer Road to Gramado
The journey takes approximately two to three hours. That estimate is useful, but it is not a promise of a fixed arrival time. Airport delays, road conditions, and optional shopping can all change the total.
The route passes through New Hamburg and Três Coroas, associated with the region’s leather-producing trade. The drive gives you a practical introduction to the area between the lowland airport city and the mountain resort towns around Gramado and Canela.
This is not presented as a scenic tour with a guide explaining every bend in the road. Your driver may provide useful local help, but the core service is transportation. I would bring water, keep your phone charged, and avoid booking a time-sensitive activity in Gramado immediately after the estimated arrival.
For many visitors, the ride is a welcome buffer after a flight. You can relax in the air conditioning, keep your luggage with your group, and arrive at your accommodation without first finding a taxi or negotiating a price at the airport.
Optional Leather Shopping in New Hamburg and Três Coroas

The leather route is the most distinctive feature of this transfer. If you want shoes or leather goods, you can ask about stopping along the way.
The information does not name a particular shop, guarantee a stop, or include purchases in the price. Treat this as an optional opportunity rather than a scheduled shopping excursion. If shopping matters to you, discuss it with the company before departure so you can understand how it may affect the driving time.
The stop could be useful for anyone looking for Brazilian-made shoes, bags, belts, or other leather products. It also adds a local element to what could otherwise be a simple airport ride. The drawback is equally clear: time spent shopping means less certainty about when you will reach Gramado.
I would skip the stop if you have a tight hotel check-in window, a dinner reservation, or a scheduled attraction. If you have a flexible afternoon, it may be a pleasant way to break up the journey.
A Private Car Instead of a Shared Shuttle
The price is $119.38 per group of up to four people. That is not a per-person fare, so the value improves sharply when the vehicle is full.
At two passengers, the effective cost is about $59.69 each. At four, it works out to about $29.85 per person. Those figures make the service worth considering for couples who value privacy and especially attractive for a family or small group carrying several bags.
You are paying for more than a seat. The price covers private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, airport reception, and delivery to the hotel, inn, or residence you provide. It also avoids the uncertainty of finding transport after landing.
The service is not automatically the cheapest option for a solo passenger. A shared transfer could cost less, though no shared fare is provided here for comparison. The private option makes the most sense when you want a direct ride, are traveling with three or four people, or prefer not to manage airport transport in an unfamiliar place.
Food, drinks, and admission charges are not included. There are no attraction tickets built into this airport transfer, and any purchase made during a leather stop is your responsibility.

Comfort, Luggage, and Child Seating
The vehicle is air conditioned and selected according to the number of people being transported. That is important in a two to three hour drive, particularly after a flight.
The service includes a highchair, baby comfort seat, and lifting seat, which appears to cover several child seating needs. If you require one, request it while booking and provide the child’s age or size if the company asks for that information. The supplied details confirm that these options are included, but they do not specify the exact model or quantity available.
The vehicle size is based on the number of passengers, but the information does not state a luggage limit. If you have large suitcases, sports equipment, or unusually bulky bags, ask about space before paying. Four adults with four large cases may need more planning than four people with carry-on bags.
Service animals are allowed. Most people can participate, and the transfer is private, so only your own party rides in the vehicle.
The Human Side of the Service
The company is Infinity Turismo. Communication by WhatsApp is part of the service experience, and the strongest praise focuses on attention, punctuality, polite drivers, and clear organization.
Several drivers are identified by name in the available feedback. Pamela is described as the first point of contact and the company owner. Drivers Paulo and Rodrigo are praised for being punctual, experienced, polite, and careful. Cristiano Apio is singled out for cordial and safe driving, while Jean is described as friendly and kind.
Those details are useful because airport transfers depend heavily on the person behind the wheel. A clean vehicle matters, but so do calm communication and reliable timing. The company’s 5.0 rating from 54 ratings and 100 percent recommendation rate support the impression of a well-run service.
Still, driver assignment can change. You should not assume that Pamela, Paulo, Rodrigo, Cristiano, or Jean will personally handle your ride. Their names show the level of service the company aims for, not a guaranteed roster for your booking.
Arrival at Your Gramado Accommodation

The ride ends at the hotel, pousada, or residence you provide when booking. The stated service area includes accommodations within a five-kilometer radius of Gramado’s city center.
The team will request the passenger’s name at a hotel, inn, or residence. This is a useful safeguard when several properties have similar names. Give the full accommodation name and address, especially if your lodging is outside the central area or uses a short-term rental address.
The end point is Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul. The information does not promise a drop-off in Canela, although the route description and some customer comments refer to Porto Alegre and Canela transfers. If your accommodation is in Canela or beyond the stated Gramado area, confirm the destination and any extra charge before booking.
That point is worth checking carefully. Gramado and Canela are close destinations in the same mountain region, but they are not identical addresses. A clear booking note prevents confusion at the end of a long drive.
What the High Rating Tells You
The most consistent praise concerns punctuality and polite drivers. The comments describe an organized first contact, cordial WhatsApp communication, safe driving, and vehicles that include a new van in at least one account.
The service has also been used for more than one ride in the region, including transfers between Porto Alegre and Gramado, transportation to Canela, and longer arrangements involving parks and the Maria Fumaça attraction. That does not mean this product includes those tours. It does suggest the company may handle broader Serra Gaúcha transportation if you contact it separately.
The comments also point to fair pricing and a peaceful ride. Those are practical benefits, not flashy extras. When you have just landed, a driver who arrives on time, knows the route, and treats your family well can make the first day far easier.
The praise is not a substitute for checking your own details. Confirm the pickup date, arrival time, number of passengers, destination, child seat needs, and any shopping request. The company’s strong record supports booking with confidence, but good transfer planning still depends on accurate information.
Who Will Get the Most From This Transfer
I would consider this service a good fit for:
- A family that needs a child seat and a direct hotel drop-off.
- A couple who wants a private ride after a long flight.
- Four adults who can divide the group price.
- Anyone uncomfortable arranging airport transport on arrival.
- A shopper interested in leather goods and shoes along the route.
- People staying within five kilometers of central Gramado.
It is less suitable if you want a full guided tour between Porto Alegre and Gramado. The leather stop is optional, and the included service is transportation rather than a programmed list of attractions.
It may also be a poor fit if you are traveling alone and only care about the lowest possible price. A private car gives you comfort and control, but a shared vehicle could potentially reduce the cost, even though no shared alternative is specified here.
Timing, Cancellation, and Booking Tips
Confirmation is received at the time of booking. You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.
The cut-off follows local time. This matters if you are booking from another time zone.
Before you submit the booking, have these details ready:
- Your flight arrival information.
- The exact number of passengers.
- Your Gramado accommodation name and address.
- Any need for a baby seat or booster.
- Whether you want to ask about a leather shopping stop.
- A phone number or WhatsApp contact that will work after landing.
The description does not state what happens if a flight is heavily delayed. Ask Infinity Turismo about its policy if your arrival time changes, particularly when booking a nonrefundable onward activity.
Should You Book It?
I would book this transfer if you value a calm arrival, are traveling with at least two people, or need a private vehicle for a family. The airport meet-and-greet, air conditioning, child seating, and direct accommodation drop-off cover the details that often cause trouble on arrival day.
The optional leather route adds a useful local touch, but do not mistake it for a guaranteed shopping tour. Ask about the stop in advance and allow extra time.
At $119.38 for up to four people, the price is reasonable when shared across a small group. Book it for comfort, privacy, and dependable handling of the Porto Alegre to Gramado journey. Choose another option only if your main goal is the absolute lowest fare or a sightseeing program rather than transport.
