Porto Taxi Fares Explained
Porto taxis run on a taximeter with fares set nationally by the AMT, the Mobility and Transport Authority, which Porto may adjust locally. Under the June 2026 reform, fares combine a fixed starting charge with distance and time components, plus a flat booking fee for pre-booked trips.\n\nNight, weekend and public holiday rates carry surcharges, and vehicles with six or more seats use higher tariffs. The same reform removed luggage and pet surcharges and ended the extra charges once applied to trips crossing municipal borders.
