SCAM AND THEY DON'T RESPOND! We hired TopTransfer for transfer to Buzios at 3.30PM and upon arriving at the airport we had no information where we would be picked up, TopTransfer was nowhere to be found. At 3.28PM they wrote to me from InBuzios (a company subcontracted to provide the service) to send me to their stand. When I get there they tell me the van is gone and I must wait for the 5.30PM. I couldn't wait two more hours there for a service I wasn't even sure I'd get. I finally rented a car on my own. To this day they do not respond or return the money.

SCAMMED IN BUZIOS BRAZIL
A disaster I must have looked for ubers since the company didn't look for us
7.30 didn't arrive, at our telephone insistence we answered 8.30 arrives, at 8.45 we decided to call Uber since we missed our flight, we left by Uber and they had not arrived. The service was subscribed, we wrote and called claiming our money and no one answered. I wouldn't take your services

Scam
We got ripped off. We hired the private service from Rio airport to Buzios and we were stood up, we were not answered and we had to hire a new transfer. Waiting hours with a baby and a little girl at the airport.

SCAM - This is a scam operation disguised as a transfer company.
This is a scam operation disguised as a transfer company. Top Transfer Ilha Grande never showed up to pick us up in Búzios despite confirming the trip. There is no phone number to call and their WhatsApp is a circus of different people giving contradictory excuses. First they apologized, then they blamed us and said we weren’t at the meeting point. There was no reception like they claimed. They made up lies about sending messages we never received. When we demanded a refund, they refused and tried to sell us a more expensive ride. Reviews online are clearly fake. This is not a business, it’s a fraud taking prepaid money and disappearing. Avoid at all costs

We are very sorry to hear about your review and would like to confirm our full commitment to our customers and our experience in tourist transfers for 11 years.
We have verified that your reservation was made through our partner Bookaway. A trip requested to depart at 9:00 am from the Búzios region and expected to arrive in Ilha Grande in the late afternoon.
We sincerely apologize for what happened. We evaluated all of your service and identified what caused you to miss our transfer.
Our attendant changed your transfer connection to an earlier time, fearing that the trip from Búzios to Rio de Janeiro would not arrive in time for the connection at the airport. However, we were unable to contact you the day before (when the reservation was made) to communicate this security change, and as a result the times were not in line.
We also verified that on the day of the trip, in order to make it to the Island on time, an upgrade was offered to correct the problem, but it was not accepted by the group.
Due to this operational issue with the schedule, if you have not yet requested a refund from Bookaway, please contact support to request a refund via the website https://support.bookaway.com/hc/en-us.
We have already sent the case to them internally, asking them to refund the amounts.
We are available for any further information you may require, through our official support channels.

They sell a cat for a hare
Very fast to collect, it only works for Ilha Grande, the transfers to Buzios are outsourced to another company, (IN BUZIOS) so in the shared transfer connections at the airport there are delays (in my case 2 hours) to connect with the other company and gather the necessary passengers to fill the bus.
My last transfer was shared from an Airbnb in front of Praia Grande (Arraial do Cabo > Rio Ipanema), when purchasing the service they sell you door to door but then the Buzios receptive only picks up people in hotels, so I have to walk with my luggage 3 blocks to take the Transfer.
Not only that, the schedule was “to be agreed upon” and they only offered to pick you up at 7 am in Arraial.
The same in the drop off in Rio, it is in another Airbnb and they leave us at a hotel a couple of blocks away, since the voucher that they themselves issue at the time of sale are the locations that one informs. At the time of the sale they never inform you of these details, and the reality is that I bought a door-to-door service, I did not choose to pay 200 reais more to carry suitcases uphill in Rio.

Prezado Cliente.
O processo hoje para a região dos Lagos (cidades de Búzios, Cabo Frio e Arraial do Cabo) acontece conforme o senhor realmente descreveu, porém alguns pontos, devido a falta de comunicação ficaram parecendo desorganizados mas não são:
-A Inbuzios é nosso parceiro oficial no trecho Rio x Região dos Lagos, assim como somos parceiros deles no trecho Rio x Região da Costa Verde, a viagem nesse caso sempre seria com eles;
-Os horários de saída sempre são fixos com intervalos de 30 minutos, pois como a loja fica no aeroporto e eles recebem transfer da zona sul e do Aeroporto Santos Dumont, pode ocorrer atraso devido a trânsito, então sempre é marcado entre 15h30 e 16:00, por exemplo, para garantir que todos os clientes possam ser atendidos;
-Existe um tempo de espera entre nossa chegada e o horário de saída da Van da Inbuzios pois saímos de Ilha Grande entre 10:30 e 10:45 com chegada ao Rio entre 12:45 e 13:15;
-O padrão da Inbuzios é realmente deixar os clientes na Pousada mais próxima ao endereço, eles não levam até endereços residenciais (isso incluem condomínios e casas de Airbnb).
- No retorno também há regras de organização por parte deles, tanto do horário de saída, como dos pontos fixos de hotéis na zona sul em que os clientes são deixados. Os pontos são estratégicos previamente planejados pela Logistica deles, que não fazem serviço porta a porta.
Essa é a regra do transfer compartilhado.
Sentimos muito caso nosso time tenha sido ineficaz na explicação do processo da viagem a região dos Lagos. Estamos sempre oferecendo treinamentos para melhor capacitar os vendedores e deixar nossos clientes mais instruídos de todo esse processo e evitemos os mal entendidos ocorridos com o senhor.
