Vanzella Transportes

What Vanzella Transportes does

Vanzella Transportes, also operating as Vanzella Turismo, is a Brazilian regional passenger transportation company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. The company specializes in shared and point-to-point ground transportation connecting Bonito — a major ecotourism destination — with Campo Grande, including Campo Grande International Airport, as well as longer routes to Corumbá, Porto Murtinho, Dourados, and Pantanal-area destinations. Its product portfolio comprises Transporte Compartilhado (scheduled shared shuttles with fixed daily departures), Transportes por Trecho (segment-based and day-use routes), and airport/hotel transfers synchronized with airline schedules.

The company operates a modern, diversified fleet ranging from sedans and executive vans (Fiat Scudo 9-seat, Sprinter 17-seat) to 2024 Marcopolo 28-seat micro-buses, G8 44-seat semi-reclining buses with restroom and refrigerator, and 2024 Double Deck buses with 52–56 reclining seats. Reservation and booking are conducted through a company-owned website with an online booking flow and WhatsApp-based sales. Pricing is per-trip, varying by vehicle class and route — shared Bonito/Campo Grande seats start at R$180, airport transfers at R$60, while full-vehicle day-use and long-haul routes range from approximately R$375 to R$11,000 per vehicle.

Vanzella generates revenue on a pure transaction-fee basis, serving two primary persona segments: tourists and ecotourism visitors to Bonito/Pantanal (primary) and local Mato Grosso do Sul residents needing intercity and airport connectivity. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, WhatsApp, on-site airport counters in Corumbá and Bonito, and hotel/pousada pickup coordination. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, Facebook) and a TripAdvisor listing. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
