Boa Viagem hotels sit 2–4 km from REC; this “Estacionamento Boa Viagem Aeroporto” name usually means an off-site lot in that area, not an official airport garage.
REC has one main terminal, T1, and all official on-site parking signs point to “Estacionamento Aeroporto,” not Estacionamento Boa Viagem Aeroporto. When you see this name online, it often refers loosely to off-site parking near the Boa Viagem beachfront, about 5–10 minutes’ drive (roughly 2–4 km) from the terminal drop-off. Expect to use a rideshare or taxi to bridge the last stretch to T1.
Because there’s no clearly documented lot using this exact name, treat it like generic off-site parking in Boa Viagem, not a branded facility with fixed shuttles or 24/7 staffing. At REC, most official lots charge by the hour with day caps, while Boa Viagem hotel or private garages may quote flat daily rates if you ask for 3, 5, or 7 days. Always confirm opening hours in Portuguese (for example, “24 horas?”) and lock in a daily price before you leave the keys.
Local flyers sometimes leave cars in Boa Viagem hotel garages, then grab a 10–15 BRL rideshare to T1, especially for trips longer than 3 days to keep costs down. If you follow that pattern, screenshot your parking location, take a timestamped photo of the car, and keep a printed or WhatsApp message with the agreed rate. Average rideshare times from Boa Viagem to the terminal run 5–10 minutes in light traffic and 15–20 minutes in rush hour.
Tip: Build a 30–40 minute buffer from garage exit in Boa Viagem to standing at the T1 check-in line, covering traffic, paying for parking, and a rideshare delay.
