Parcero
A LOCAL FRIEND IN YOUR POCKET

Stop paying tourist prices in Rio.

Parcero tells you what to do right now near you, what’s fair to pay, and when to head back by car. From the airport to the last caipirinha, like having a carioca friend by your side.

WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU BEFORE YOU LAND

Rio is amazing. Not knowing is what costs you.

01The arrivals-hall taxiWhoever walks up to you as you exit Galeão isn’t the official taxi. And they know you just landed.
02The two-price caipirinhaOn the same beach it can cost double. It depends on whether you look like a tourist.
03The street that changes at 10pmCalm at sunset, a different story at midnight. Nobody tells you when it flips.
04A thousand options, five daysGoogle shows you everything. Nobody tells you what to do right now, nearby, in this rain.

Every mistake costs you money, time or a scare. And you only have a few days.

PARCERO HAS YOU COVERED

It knows where to go, what to pay and how to get back.

Right now, near you

No sending you 12 km away at nine at night.

Suggestions factor in the time, the distance and whether it’s about to rain. You see what’s open, what it costs and how long it takes, before you leave the hotel.

Fair price list by neighborhood
Fair price

Know the price before they tell you.

Caipirinha, coconut water, beach chair, taxi: what’s fair in each neighborhood, in reais and in dollars, with the date we checked. Show the screen to the vendor and you’re done.

At night

We warn you before your area stops being walkable.

Every part of town has its hours. Parcero knows them, warns you 20 minutes ahead and gets you back to the hotel in one tap: on foot if it’s still fine, by car with an estimated fare if it isn’t.

Your crew

Your travel crew knows you got back. No texting needed.

Friends, partner, family: they see you’re heading back and when you reach the hotel. Vote together on tomorrow’s plan. Your location is only shared if you turn it on.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Help that works without internet.

190 and 192 in one tap, a step-by-step if your phone gets stolen, and the Tourist Police station with address and hours. Your pass lives in your email, even if you lose your phone.

Questions before you buy

Does it work offline?

Emergency help, phone numbers and the stolen-phone step-by-step all work offline. Live suggestions and the map need data or wifi.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once for the days you’ll be here. It doesn’t renew and there’s nothing to cancel.

When do the days start counting?

On your first use in Rio, or on your arrival date, whichever comes first. You can buy from home without losing days.

Is my location exposed?

No. We only use it while the app is open, to show what’s nearby. Your crew only sees you if you turn sharing on, and you can turn it off anytime.

What if my phone gets stolen?

Your pass is tied to your email. Log in on another phone with the same email and everything is still there.

Traveling as a group, does everyone buy?

Each person has their own pass. Invite your crew in the app and you all see each other: who’s heading back, who made it, and tomorrow’s plan.

Your Rio starts before you land.

Buy today and arrive knowing where to go, what to pay and how to get back.
