About Renting a Car at Jaguaruna Airport

Jaguaruna Airport (IATA: JJG) is located in Santa Catarina state, approximately 15 km south of Laguna and 120 km south of Florianópolis. The airport serves the southern Santa Catarina coastal region and is a convenient starting point for exploring the beautiful lagoons and beaches in the area. Rental car directly at the airport gives you the freedom to reach the coasts on your own.

Just north of the airport lies Laguna, a historic city with colonial architecture and the famous Lagoa Santo Antônio. The area is known for its long sandy beaches such as Praia do Gi and Praia de Jaguaruna, both within 10 km. The region is also popular for kite-surfing and windsurfing thanks to the constant South Atlantic winds.

Drive north 15 km to Laguna to experience the historic city center and the ferry crossing over the lagoon. Take BR-101 south toward Araranguá (45 km) to reach more unspoiled beaches. Book your rental car in advance during the summer season (December - February) when demand is high.
