How do you get around this amazing city? Traveling by taxi is one of the most common ways of transportation, but it can also be the most expensive one.

You can get a cab almost anywhere in the city just by hailing. The sign on the roof shows whether it is available or not. A green light means it is free; the numbers 1, 2, or 3 indicate it is busy.

In some of the liveliest areas, like the airport, train stations, and tourist centers, you can find taxi stands. If you need a driver to pick you up at a specific place, you can call or book one of the exchanges, such as Táxis Invicta or Raditaxis. Most people use apps like GeoSensi Taxi or Taxi Link.

The minute you get inside the vehicle, you are already paying a start fee of 2,50 EUR. City ride is less than 10,00 EUR on average, whereas the trip to Porto Airport is around 25,00 EUR. You'll be paying higher rates if you're traveling on weekends, holidays, or nights. Don't forget to always check the price list displayed inside the car.

Some of the extra charges include:

• tolls - they are never included in the basic rate
• large luggage - 1,80 EUR per piece

IMPORTANT: Always take a receipt. Keep it in case you need to contact the taxi company if you forget something in the car or you want to file a complaint.

When you consider all of the above, it is clear that taxi transportation can be uncertain. You don’t know the exact price beforehand. If you need a child seat, don’t expect it to be ready in the car. As it takes up a lot of space, drivers rarely have it or don’t have it at all. Private transportation can eliminate all your doubts and questions.
