The terminals at Montevideo Airport
The airport's own pages describe one terminal with three halls: the departures hall, the arrivals hall and the central hall between them, where the information desk and the payment office sit. The terminal is on Ruta 101, at kilometre 19,950, in Ciudad de la Costa.
The car hire desks are inside the terminal, with Avis Budget, Hertz, Europcar and Sixt, and the airport publishes the hours of each one. The official taxi office is in the arrivals hall, next to the wheelchairs that the airport lends to the passengers.
Getting to and from Montevideo Airport
The official taxis work 24 hours a day and wait in the arrivals hall, so a family that lands late still has a ride into the city. The airport also lends wheelchairs inside the terminal, in the arrivals hall next to that office.
If you leave the car at the airport, the Long Stay parking keeps it in the open or covered car park for the days of the trip, up to 30 days, and the terminal also has a luggage storage that works 24 hours a day from the information desk in the central hall.
