Taxis in 2027: €2.05 pick-up, €0.60 a kilometre, €0.37 a minute in the daytime. Meters must be updated by 21 January
IMT (Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes, the Institute for Mobility and Transport) has announced taxi fares for 2027, ECO reports. They are calculated under the rules in force since 23 October: a pick-up charge plus a fee for every kilometre and every minute of the journey (see our article on the new rules). The new fares take into account inflation of 2.66% in September and the rise in the minimum wage to €970.
On weekdays in the daytime, from 7:00 to 22:00, the pick-up charge will be €2.05, a kilometre €0.60 and a minute €0.37. Under the current transitional fares, these are €2, €0.58 and €0.28. A minute will cost €0.46 at night on weekdays, €0.56 in the daytime at weekends and on public holidays, and €0.65 at night at weekends and on public holidays.
A 5-kilometre journey lasting 15 minutes will cost €10.60 on a weekday in the daytime, instead of the current €9.10. At night on a weekday it will be €11.95, and at night at the weekend €14.80. Tolls, as before, are paid on top of the meter fare.
For more than four passengers in a large vehicle, the pick-up charge is €4.11, a kilometre €0.75 and a minute still €0.37. With four passengers or fewer, the normal fare applies, even in a large vehicle. On out-of-town journeys where the taxi has to return empty (the former "tariff 3"), a kilometre costs €1.19 until local authorities approve their own fares.
Taxi drivers must update their meters by 21 January 2027; the new fares apply from the moment the meter is updated. The fares are printed on a sticker on the rear left window, so you can use it to check what the driver is charging. There is no surcharge for luggage or animals.
