Faro Taxi Fares Explained
In 2026 Portugal replaced its patchwork of municipal taxi zone tariffs with one national price model set by the AMT regulator. The meter now combines a fixed start charge with amounts built from both time and distance for the whole trip.
Trips at night, on weekends and on public holidays run on higher time and distance rates, and the tourist Algarve may add permitted seasonal surcharges in high season. Supplements for luggage and pets were removed, while a small call-out charge and A22 motorway tolls can still be added to the bill.

About Taxis in Faro 🚕
Faro International Airport (FAO) keeps a 24-hour official taxi rank just outside arrivals, served by co-operatives linked to ANTRAL as well as operators such as Faro Central Taxis, Rotáxi and Izzy Move. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and larger minibuses are available at the rank.
Long-standing local firms such as Taxis Pinheiro & Delmira, based in Faro since 1966, handle airport runs, and pre-booked fixed-price transfer services are common across the tourist Algarve. Uber and Bolt also operate in the region, with pickups at departures level, while a metered ride from the airport to central Faro is the cheapest leg of any journey along the coast.
Tips for Taxi Riders
- Always check if the meter is running before your ride starts.
- Carry small change in the local currency for convenience.
- Be aware of possible surcharges like night rides or airport fees.
- If traveling with friends, split the cost to save money.
