Taxi

Taxis in Portugal have an illuminated taxi sign on top and are usually painted beige, but some older ones are still green and black. The driver’s ID and the meter should both be displayed inside the car. There is a fixed tariff starting at €3.25, but increasing to €3.90 after 9 p.m., at weekends, and during holidays. Within the city you can get a standard fare, but outside the city limits you’ll be charged per kilometre, and the driver is entitled to charge for the return fare. You’ll also pay a surcharge if you are travelling with luggage. To ask for a receipt, say Queria uma fatura, por favor. It’s a good idea to ask for this in advance, as you get in the car.
