Lisbon Taxi Fares Explained

Taxi fares in Lisbon begin with a base flag-fall, typically costing between €3.25 and €4.50 depending on the time of day and vehicle type. This initial fee activates the meter and starts the fare calculation process.

In addition to the base fare, the meter adds a charge per kilometer traveled. Daytime rates are generally around €0.90 to €1.20 per kilometer, slightly higher at night due to surcharges. Waiting time in traffic is also billed per minute.

Surcharges apply notably for airport rides, which add around €3.50 to €4.00 on top of the metered fare. Nighttime travel, from about 9 pm to 7 am, increases the total fare by roughly 20%. Passengers should always verify the meter is running to avoid overpaying.
