Recife Taxi Fares Explained
Recife taxis use a taximeter with two bands. Bandeira 1 applies on weekdays during daytime, while bandeira 2 applies at night, on Sundays and holidays.
Fares are set by the municipal mobility department and updated by decree. Airport pickups and taxi-rank departures are metered, though some cooperative desks sell prepaid vouchers.
Apps such as 99 and Uber compete with taxis, and many Recife cooperatives take phone or WhatsApp bookings. Card payment availability varies by vehicle, so confirm before departure.
About Taxis in Recife đźš•
Recife has cooperative and radio taxi fleets, including Coopetáxi Recife, Rádio Táxi Recife and Sindicato dos Taxistas de Pernambuco affiliates. Vehicles are mostly compact sedans and hatchbacks, with some accessible vans on request.
Guararapes Gilberto Freyre International Airport (REC) has taxi ranks outside arrivals. A trip to Boa Viagem is short, while Recife Antigo and Olinda take longer via Avenida Mascarenhas de Moraes and the BR-101 or Estrada de Belém.
Bookings can be made by phone, cooperative apps or hotel desks. Metered rides are standard, but fixed airport transfers may be offered by cooperative counters.
