About Taxis in Porto Alegre 🚕

You can get taxis in Porto Alegre by calling a licensed company, using an app, or finding them at designated taxi stands and airport or mall pickup points. The city’s official transport authority says tariff tables are published for operators while meters are updated.

Licensed taxis should be officially marked and use a meter. For safety, use only registered taxis or trusted app-based service, and confirm the driver and vehicle details before entering, especially at night or at the airport.

Public travel advice for Brazil says unauthorized taxis can be linked to thefts and scams, so choosing only officially marked vehicles is important. If you are using a ride app, check the license plate and driver identity before the trip starts.

Taxi colors can vary by city, so in Porto Alegre the most reliable identification is the official taxi registration and meter rather than color alone. If you are unsure, ask the airport, hotel, or local transport authority for the correct pickup point.

For safety, keep the route visible on your phone, avoid unnecessary stops, and prefer reputable, pre-arranged pickups when possible. This is especially important late at night or when traveling alone.

If you need to travel with a small pet, agree on the extra fee before departure. If you use a guide dog or mobility equipment, the fare must not be increased for those items.
