Official Lisbon Airport Taxi Details

Lisbon Airport Taxi

Lisbon Airport taxi ranks are located outside the Arrivals Hall.

 

Although taxis have meters, you should check the fare with the driver prior to departure, as they are not always used. It is possible to get a pre-paid taxi (see below).

 

A taxi from Lisbon Airport has a standard airport surcharge as well as extra charges for luggage.




 Unofficial Lisbon Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

To avoid being overcharged by taxi drivers, you can avoid the Lisbon Airport taxis at the Arrivals Hall by walking to the Departures area and getting a taxi there instead.


 
IHateTaxis.com has a mixed recommendation on the unofficial Lisbon Airport taxi service.

A Lisbon Airport taxi hired at Departures may result in better service and a greater chance of the meter being used. On the other hand, as the airport is so close to the city and the average fare reasonable, this might not be worth the effort if you have a lot of luggage to haul around.
