Founded by JL Soares (José Lemes Soares), grandson of the pioneer behind Viação Andorinha, one of Brazil's largest and most respected road transport companies, the Smith-Lemes brand blends heritage and innovation, bringing together security, technology, and discretion for international travelers visiting Brazil.

"We wanted to bring the same reliability and operational discipline that built Brazil's road transport history into a new, elevated context — one designed for executives, entrepreneurs, and international visitors who value both privacy and excellence," said JL Soares, founder and managing director of Smith-Lemes.

From National Legacy to Tailored Executive Transport

The Soares family’s long-standing presence in Brazil’s mobility landscape traces back to the origins of Viação Andorinha, an enterprise that helped shape intercity transportation in South America.

With this experience as a foundation, Smith-Lemes seeks to redefine urban and intercity travel through a human-centered, technology-enhanced service.

All vehicles are outfitted with refrigerated minibars, climate-controlled interiors, and integrated delivery service, enabling clients to receive items from partner restaurants or couriers without leaving the car — an innovation designed for those facing São Paulo's notorious traffic. The inclusion of satellite connectivity aims to offer seamless, high-speed internet access even in remote or congested areas, allowing passengers to stream content or manage business meetings without interruption.
