- The gas station Ipiranga Aeroporto, at Avenue of States, 75 where drivers stop there before go to the two highway beyond: the BR-116, which goes North, and the BR 290, wich goes East.
If you are going to coastline, you can also ask a ride to leave you to the Km 80 of the "Freeway", to ask for another ride there, at the gas station Petrobras Graal Rota 80.
It's not allowed to ask a ride near the fuel pumps but you can do it on exit of the gas station, when the drivers slow down.
