Taxi information.
Taxis are a good and cheap way of getting around in Lisbon. Taxi fares are calculated on the basis of
an initial flat charge, currently €3.25 during the day and €3.90 at night (a further €1.60 is charged for
luggage bigger than 55x35x20cm). The call-out charge is €0.80.
Driving from the airport to most locations in central Lisbon should cost between €10 -15 (plus baggage
and call-out charges). Meters are displayed in all licensed taxis, make sure the meter is running.
Tipping is voluntary, but customary: 10% is the norm.
Lisbon taxis charge 25% more after 22:00 and on weekends (using Rate 2 rather than Rate 1). The
fare outside of the city is calculated on a km basis upon leaving the city limits, about €0.40/km, and
any motorway/bridge tolls are paid by the client. When taking a cab, try to enquire about the price to
your destination first. Save your receipt and check if the license plate matches the receipt details. See
if the meter is running and the rate code is correct. Book a transfer for out of city destinations such as
Sintra, Cascais etc as taxis to these destinations will be very expensive.
