Uber or taxi from Porto Alegre airport? [closed] - Person Driving Car

I will be arriving in Porto Alegre, Brazil this Saturday for a big 6 month adventure.

I have to get from the airport to my Couchsurfing in Bela Vista, at around 3pm.

I don't speak Portuguese (I can understant/say a few words but that's all) and I will have a big suitcase. My couchsurfing host advised to take an Uber because it's cheaper but I won't have an internet connection or a phone number at my arrival in Brazil, so I'm not sure wether it would be so easy to book an Uber.

My main concerns are :

  • Safety
  • Convenience
  • Price comes last, I was expecting to spend a bit when arriving anyway so I saved some money for any alternative.

Which would be the best option in regards to these criteria : taxi (red, white?), Uber, Bus?
