Taxi cooperatives are very common around Rio and they can be found easily by just walking around town - However, in the middle of the night not all cooperatives are working or take calls. Because of this, a reliable alternative is to use the taxi apps like 99taxis and easytaxi.

Uber is another valid option of public transportation, being very versatile in regards to vehicle types and offering ease of payment through credit card with no money exchange inside the car, a big factor for those not very comfortable with portuguese or currency conversion.
