Restroom near me: how to find one right now
Guentaí shows you bathrooms from shops and homes that are willing to let you in, with price, rating and time to get there. You sort it out in the app, without asking for a favour at the counter.
How to find a restroom near you
Open the app and the map loads the places available around you, sorted by distance. Each pin shows the access price, the rating from people who have been there and how long it takes to arrive.
Tap a place to see photos, opening hours and what it offers, such as accessibility, a women's restroom or a spot to wash your hands. You can filter by distance, price and those features before heading out.
How much it costs
The price is set by whoever offers the space and shows up before you confirm. It usually lands between R$ 2.50 and R$ 6.00, paid by Pix or card inside the app.
Some places run promotions with a discount or free access. The promotion belongs to the owner of the place, who often prefers to welcome people working with delivery or ride-hailing apps.
Who Guentaí is built for
People who spend the day on the street rarely have anywhere to go. Guentaí came out of that routine.
- Delivery riders on 8 to 12 hour shifts, by motorbike or bicycle
- Motorcycle taxi and rideshare drivers, who need to decide fast between rides
- Police officers and professionals on long shifts, in and out of the car
- Truck drivers, field sales reps and anyone moving across the city
Why pay for something that should be public
Public bathrooms are scarce and, when they exist, they are usually closed or unusable. Meanwhile there is a clean, ready restroom on every corner, inside shops that will not open the door to anyone who is not buying.
What Guentaí does is set a clear deal for both sides: whoever needs it pays a small amount and walks in without embarrassment, whoever hosts gets paid for it and knows who is coming in.
Safety for both sides
Before your first access you go through identity verification with a document and a selfie with liveness detection. It happens once, so the host knows who is coming in.
Once the request is approved you get a temporary access code. Afterwards, your rating helps the next person choose better.
Frequently asked questions
Does Guentaí work in my city?
Coverage grows as shops and residents list their bathrooms. Download the app and check the map in your area. If it is still empty around you, you can be the first to list a place.
Do I pay before using it?
Yes. Payment happens in the app when you request access, by Pix or card. Nothing is left to settle at the counter.
Are there free bathrooms in the app?
There are, when the owner of the place creates a promotion. It is common in places that want to attract people working with delivery and ride-hailing apps.
Why do I need to submit a document?
Because a person or a business is about to open a door for you. Verification happens once and your documents are never visible to other users.
Can I use it without sharing my location?
You can, but location is what sorts places by distance and estimates how long you will take to get there. It is only used while the app is open, never in the background.
What if the restroom is not as expected?
You rate the place and can open a ticket in the app, under Help. Low ratings affect where the place sits on the map.
