Safe Rio

Heading to Rio de Janeiro? Enjoy it without second-guessing every street.

Rio is unforgettable — and like any big city, some areas are best skipped. Safe Rio gives you a quiet heads-up before you get close to one, so you can take another route and get back to enjoying your trip.

HOW IT WORKS
• Install it and allow location access. Choose “Always” so it can work while your phone stays in your pocket.
• Explore as you planned. Keep using Google Maps, Waze or Uber — Safe Rio runs quietly in the background.
• When you approach a mapped risk area, you get a sound and visual alert, with time to take another route.

WHY TRAVELERS LIKE IT
• Over 400 mapped risk areas, updated monthly.
• Alerts you can tune: choose how early you are warned, which sound plays and how often it repeats.
• Works alongside your navigation app, with nothing to keep open.
• Available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

WHAT SAFE RIO IS — AND ISN'T
It is a heads-up for areas mapped in advance, and an extra layer of awareness while you explore.
It isn't a live crime or incident feed, a guarantee of safety, or a replacement for common sense and local advice.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Location (GPS) and notifications need to be on for alerts to work, and you need an internet connection to receive them accurately.
• Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
• An active plan is required to use alerts. Plans are available as in-app purchases.
