Useful tips for getting a taxi from Madeira Airport

  1. You should only take an official taxi from the airport taxi rank and avoid individual drivers offering rides to passengers.
  2. Official taxis in Madeira are yellow with the typical taxi sign on the roof and a blue stripe on both sides.
  3. Most taxi drivers don’t speak English fluently so having your hotel’s address written down in Portuguese is a good idea.
  4. Once you get in the taxi, check that the taximeter is turned on and set to the base fare.
  5. For long-distance routes, you may be able to negotiate a fixed fare with the driver.
  6. Asking for a receipt at the end of the ride is a good idea in case you need to file a complaint or claim a lost item.
  7. Using Google Maps to track your journey is a good way to ensure the driver is taking the most efficient route to your destination.
  8. Paying for your Madeira Airport taxi by credit card isn’t always an option so it’s a good idea to confirm with the driver before getting in the taxi.
  9. Tipping your driver isn’t expected but you can always round up the total fare or add a 5% to 10% if you received great service.
  10. Accessible taxis aren’t usually available for on-demand services at Madeira Airport; it’s recommended to pre-book your ride with a specialized operator to ensure a smooth arrival.
  11. During peak hours, waiting times at the airport taxi rank can be long; pre-booking your ride is a great way to skip the line and save time.
