About Renting a Car at Macapá Airport

Macapá Internacional Alberto Alcolumbre Airport (MCP) is the gateway to Amapá and offers car rental with 4 companies directly in the terminal. The airport is only 4 km north of Macapá city center, meaning you'll be in the heart of the city in less than 10 minutes. Picking up your car at MCP is the most convenient way to start exploring this unique equatorial region.

From the airport you can reach Macapá's famous Marco Zero monument in about 8 km south. Fortaleza de São José do Macapá, the city's historic fort on the Amazon River, is reached in about 10 minutes driving. The airport serves all of Amapá state and is the starting point for adventures into the Amazon.

Pick up your car upon arrival – queues can be long when multiple flights land simultaneously, especially in the morning. Always choose a vehicle with high ground clearance if you plan excursions outside Macapá. Ask the rental company for current information about road conditions – AP-010 north can be closed during the rainy season.
