Lisbon Airport has introduced a fixed-price tariff system for taxi services to combat fraud and overcharging. This initiative follows a cooperation protocol involving the Lisbon City Council, ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal, and various transport federations. The initial phase establishes specific rates for trips within the municipality, with daytime weekday rates for Zone 1 set between 16 and 19 euros, and night, weekend, or holiday rates for Zone 2 ranging from 20 to 23 euros.

The regulation, issued by the Mobility and Transport Authority (AMT) as Regulation No. 1324-A/2026, follows police investigations that identified 67 offenses related to tourist exploitation and hidden fees. While the system aims to increase transparency and prioritize safety and accessibility, it has raised concerns regarding the cost of short-distance journeys. Some observers suggest the new pricing may encourage travelers to use alternatives such as the Lisbon Metro or ride-sharing services like Uber and Bolt.
