How much does the Recife–Maragogi transfer cost?

The cheapest transfer from Recife to Maragogi is Luck’s shared service, at R$ 187.50 per adult each way until 12/18/2026 (Oct 2026). Private transfers cost R$ 656 to R$ 810 per car, and the private van for up to 10 people runs R$ 1,385 (Oct 2026).

The math changes with group size. For a couple, the shared transfer comes to R$ 375 one way (Oct 2026), nearly half the private sedan. From four people up, the private per-car rate breaks even or wins, since the price is fixed per vehicle.

How long does it take from Recife to Maragogi?

By car, the trip from Recife Airport to Maragogi takes about 2 hours for 125 km, according to Kiwitaxi and the OpenStreetMap route calculation. The shared transfer takes longer because it stops at several hotels before yours.

The route follows the BR-101 south, passes through Pernambuco, and enters Alagoas along the northern coast. If you land in the afternoon, you’ll reach Maragogi in the early evening; with the shared transfer, add extra margin for waiting on other flights and for stops at inns along the way.

How does the shared transfer from Recife to Maragogi work?

On the shared transfer, the Luck team waits for you with a sign in front of the arrivals exit gate and takes a group from several hotels in the same vehicle. It costs R$ 187.50 per adult until 12/18/2026 (Oct 2026), and babies up to 2 years old ride free.

The vehicle can be a car, van, minibus, or bus, depending on the day’s demand. The service only covers hotels and inns in Maragogi (not private residences), and a baby car seat is not included. On the return, hotel pickup is scheduled 5.5 hours before your flight, which usually eats up your last morning at the beach. Book the Luck shared transfer to Maragogi and send your flight details via WhatsApp after purchase.

How much does the private transfer from Recife to Maragogi cost?

The private transfer from Recife to Maragogi starts at R$ 656 per car with Kiwitaxi and R$ 810 for Luck’s sedan/SUV (Oct 2026). It leaves the moment you land and goes straight to your hotel, no stops.

On the Kiwitaxi route from Recife Airport to Maragogi, the price includes 1h30 of waiting after your scheduled flight time, and the minivan for 4 people with 4 suitcases costs just a bit more than the sedan (US$ 148 vs. US$ 135, Oct 2026). Luck’s sedan fits up to 3 medium 23 kg suitcases; a car seat costs R$ 60 per piece of equipment per leg (Oct 2026). Large groups can book the private van for up to 10 people.

It’s worth it when your flight lands at night, when you have a small child or lots of luggage, and for groups of four or more. Split among four adults, the R$ 810 sedan comes to R$ 202.50 per person (Oct 2026), almost the price of the shared transfer.

How much does the transfer from Recife to São Miguel dos Milagres cost?

From Recife, Luck only offers private transfers to São Miguel dos Milagres, Patacho, and Porto de Pedras, starting at R$ 1,260 per car (Oct 2026). That’s about 160 km and close to 3 hours on the road, according to the OpenStreetMap route calculation.
