New rules for taxi fares enter into force today, but meters have until January to adapt
The new taxi pricing regulation enters into force on 23 October 2026, establishing a lower initial flag-drop fee with variable rates based on time and distance, plus potential surcharges during festive periods. Operators have a 90-day transition period until mid-January 2027 to adapt their taximeters.
Why it matters
If you take taxis in Portugal, a new fare structure with a lower starting flag-drop and distance-time rates takes effect on 23 October 2026, though meters have up to 90 days to be fully updated.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
