FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What passengers ask before booking this route.
How much is a transfer from Encarnación to Asuncion?
From USD 417 per vehicle for up to three passengers, USD 497 for a minivan up to seven. It is a price for the vehicle, not per passenger, so between four people it splits and works out cheaper than any other option.
How long does the trip take?
Around 5 a 5 h 30 min for the 370 km, driving at a normal pace and including a stop along the way. It is the same road as the outbound leg, so the timing is symmetrical.
Where do you pick me up?
Wherever you are: hotel, private address, airport or terminal. There are no meeting points on this service, and there is no waiting for other passengers.
Can I choose the departure time?
Yes, any time of day or night. It is a private service, so the schedule is yours. Very early departures are common on this route to arrive in Asuncion before midday.
Can we stop along the way?
As many times as you want, and it does not change the price. Most people stop once for a coffee or fuel, but if you want to stop for photos or lunch that is fine too.
Is luggage included?
Yes, at no extra charge, within the capacity of the vehicle. If you are carrying a lot, tell us when booking and we will assign a minivan instead of a sedan, which usually costs the same for four people.
How do I book and pay?
With a 30% deposit that locks in the date and the vehicle. You can pay by card, bank transfer, digital wallet or crypto, and the balance is settled on arrival.
Do you also do the outbound trip?
Yes. The Asuncion to Encarnación route has its own page, and booking both legs together costs less than two one-way trips.
How far is it exactly?
370 km. There is a full breakdown of the route, the timings and the alternatives on the distance guide.
Is it cheaper than the bus?
No, the bus is cheaper. The transfer wins on time, on comfort and on the fact that it goes door to door, but if the budget is the priority the bus is the honest answer.
What vehicle will I get?
A sedan for up to three passengers, a Hyundai H1 minivan for up to seven or a Mercedes Sprinter for eight to fourteen. We assign it according to how many of you there are and how much luggage.
Does the driver speak English?
We can assign a driver who speaks English or Portuguese if you ask when booking. It is worth requesting in advance so it is planned rather than left to who is available.
When do you travel?
Send us the date, the time and the address in Encarnación. We confirm the vehicle and the fixed price.
