1. The Porto Alegre Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Porto Alegre taxi rate was officially set on October 10, 2023. Taxi tariffs in Brazil are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Porto Alegre was last set in October 2023 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 Porto Alegre taxi rate:

The taxi tariff in Porto Alegre sets clear rates for passengers, depending on the time and day of travel. For trips taken during the day, from Monday to Friday between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, there is a base fare of R$ 6.26. After the base fare, each kilometer traveled is charged at R$ 3.13. If the taxi needs to wait, such as during traffic delays or when waiting for the passenger, there is a waiting time charge of R$ 22.10 per hour.

For travel at night and on Sundays, the tariff is different. The night tariff applies from Monday to Friday between 8:00 pm and 6:00 am, on Saturdays from 3:00 pm onward, and all day on Sundays. With this tariff, the base fare is R$ 5.18. Each additional kilometer costs R$ 4.06, and the waiting time is charged at the same rate as during the day, at R$ 22.10 per hour.

To calculate the total fare for your journey, start with the base fare for the relevant time period. Then, add the cost for each kilometer traveled at the corresponding rate. If the taxi is stationary for any reason and waiting for you, the time is added based on the hourly waiting rate. The Porto Alegre taxi tariff ensures passengers know exactly how their ride is being charged, providing straightforward and transparent information.
