1. The Lisbon Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Lisbon taxi rate was officially set on March 1, 2018. Taxi tariffs in Portugal are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Lisbon was last set in March 2018 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Lisbon taxi rate:

The taxi tariff in Lissabon provides a clear structure for calculating fares. The fare you pay is based on the time of day and the distance you travel. There are two main price periods: day and night. The day tariff is valid from Monday to Friday between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm. The night tariff applies from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am on weekdays, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Under the day tariff, your journey starts with a base fare of €3.25, which includes the first 1.80 km of travel. After this, each additional kilometer costs €0.47. If the taxi waits for you—for example, in heavy traffic or when stopped—the waiting time is charged at €14.80 per hour.

For rides during the night period or on weekends, the base fare is €3.90 and includes the first 1.40 km. After that, you pay €0.56 for every additional kilometer. Waiting time is charged at the same rate as the day tariff, which is €14.80 per hour.

There are also some extra charges you may need to consider. Placing luggage in the trunk will be charged at €1.60. If you order your taxi by telephone, there is an additional fee of €0.80.

When taking a taxi in Lissabon, your total fare will be calculated by adding the base fare, the distance traveled beyond the included kilometers, any applicable waiting time, and any extra charges for luggage or telephone booking. This ensures that you can understand the breakdown of your fare before or after your trip.
