What is a private airport transfer?

A private airport transfer is a pre-booked, fixed-price car service from Lisbon Airport (LIS) to your destination — or vice versa — with a licensed chauffeur waiting for you at the arrivals hall with a name sign. The vehicle is dedicated to you (never shared), the route is direct (no other stops), and the price is locked at booking with no surge pricing.

Our standard fleet for airport transfers is the Mercedes E-Class (executive sedan, up to 3 passengers and 3 large bags) and Mercedes V-Class (business van, up to 7 passengers and 7 bags). For VIP and corporate, the Mercedes S-Class is available on request.

How much does a Lisbon airport transfer cost?

Pricing is flat-rate based on destination, not metered. The most common LIS airport transfers:

  • LIS → Lisbon city centre (Baixa, Chiado, Avenida da Liberdade): €55 E-Class · €75 V-Class
  • LIS → Belém / Alcântara / Cruise Terminal: €60 E-Class · €80 V-Class
  • LIS → Sintra hotels: €85 E-Class · €110 V-Class
  • LIS → Cascais / Estoril: €90 E-Class · €115 V-Class
  • LIS → Comporta: €180 E-Class · €240 V-Class

All prices are flat, all-inclusive, and confirmed at booking. There is no surge pricing, no per-passenger fee, and no waiting charge for delayed flights.

What does the airport meet-and-greet involve?

For every airport pickup, your chauffeur waits in the Terminal 1 arrivals hall holding a sign with your name (or company name, if you prefer). You don’t need to call, text, or use an app. The driver helps with luggage, walks you to the vehicle in the dedicated transfer parking, and you depart within minutes of meeting.

We track your flight automatically from the moment you book. If your flight is delayed, the driver waits without any extra charge. Standard inclusion is 60 minutes of free wait time after landing, which covers baggage claim and even the new EES (Entry/Exit System) passport queues.

Is this service available 24/7?

Yes. Airport transfers run 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, including all Portuguese public holidays (New Year’s, Carnival, Easter, Liberation Day on 25 April, Portugal Day on 10 June, Christmas, etc.). There is no surcharge for late-night, early-morning, weekend, or holiday transfers — the price is the same as any other time.

02.

Executive Chauffeur Service

By-the-hour Mercedes with dedicated driver on standby
From €85/hr

What is a chauffeur service?

A chauffeur service is the hourly rental of a vehicle plus dedicated driver, available wherever your day takes you. Unlike a point-to-point transfer (which is one ride at a flat rate), a chauffeur stays with you between stops — waiting outside meeting venues, driving you across the city for back-to-back appointments, and returning you to your hotel at the end of the day.

This is the right service for multi-stop business days, conference roadshows, embassy and consular days, executive city tours, wedding logistics, and any schedule where you don’t know exactly where you’ll need to be next.

How does hourly chauffeur pricing work?

The standard rate is €85 per hour with a 3-hour minimum. The clock starts when the driver arrives at your first pickup and ends when you’re dropped at your final destination. Time spent waiting between meetings counts the same as time spent driving — the driver and vehicle are on standby exclusively for you.

Discounted package rates:

  • Half day (4 hours): €320 (saves €20 vs. hourly)
  • Full day (8 hours): €620 (saves €60 vs. hourly)
  • Multi-day & VIP (price on application): Quoted individually, typically 10—20% savings on the daily rate

How discreet is the service?

Discretion is standard, not extra. Our vehicles carry no company logos or markings. Drivers are briefed on confidentiality and sign NDAs for VIP and executive bookings. They wait outside meeting buildings, do not initiate conversation with passengers, and never accompany clients into venues unless specifically requested.

For diplomatic, celebrity, sensitive corporate, or media-personality use, we have a specialized roster of senior drivers with additional vetting.

Common chauffeur service use cases

  • Web Summit logistics — conference week roadshows, multi-venue meetings, late-night events
  • Embassy and consular transport — diplomatic functions, visa appointments, government meetings
  • Executive city days — VC partner meetings, board sessions, client lunches across Lisbon
  • Wedding party logistics — bridal transport, gala arrivals, coordinated guest shuttles
  • Cruise day excursions — full-day exploration with vehicle on standby at each stop
  • Family with children — school pickups, dental appointments, day-of-the-city navigation

Private Tours from Lisbon

Driver-guide tours with English-speaking guides and Mercedes vehicles
From €220

What are your private tours?

Our private tours are full-day or half-day curated experiences from Lisbon with an English-speaking driver-guide, dedicated Mercedes vehicle, and a flexible itinerary that can be customized to your interests, pace, and energy level. Unlike group tours, there are no other passengers — the vehicle and guide are yours exclusively.

Current tour offerings:

  • Sintra & Palaces — Full day, €380. Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, Cascais
  • Cascais & Estoril Coast — Half day, €220. Portuguese Riviera, fishing harbor, Boca do Inferno cliffs
  • Douro Valley Wine — Full day, €520. Two family quintas, Port and table wine tasting, lunch with views
  • Fátima & Óbidos — Full day, €420. Pilgrimage sanctuary plus medieval walled town
  • Évora & Alentejo — Full day, €460. UNESCO walled city, Roman temple, wine estate lunch
  • Custom itineraries — Multi-day, themed, or unique requests, quoted flat-rate

How are private tours priced?

Tours are priced per vehicle, not per person. The same tour costs the same whether you’re 1 person or 7 people in the same vehicle — meaning adding friends, family, or colleagues never multiplies the cost. Group sizes:

  • 1—3 guests: Mercedes E-Class executive sedan
  • 4—7 guests: Mercedes V-Class business van (typical premium of €100/day)
  • 8—15 guests: Mercedes Sprinter executive minibus (typical premium of €200—300/day)

Tour pricing includes vehicle, driver-guide, fuel, all tolls and parking, water, Wi-Fi, restaurant reservations, child seats, and Portuguese VAT. Not included: palace entry tickets (purchased at the gate or pre-purchased for €3/ticket convenience fee), restaurant meals, and optional driver gratuity.

What’s a “driver-guide”?

A driver-guide is a single person who both drives the vehicle and provides commentary, recommendations, and local knowledge throughout the tour. This differs from many tour operators who use a separate tour guide and driver. The advantage of the combined role: a smaller, more intimate experience; lower overall cost; more flexibility (no need to coordinate two professionals); and a single point of contact who knows both the route and the stories.

Our driver-guides are RNAAT-licensed (Portuguese national tourism authority), fluent in English, and have a minimum 5 years of experience in their tour region. Many were born and raised in the areas they guide.

Long-Distance Transfers

Lisbon to Porto, Algarve, Comporta, and across the border into Spain
From €160

What are long-distance transfers?

A long-distance transfer is a one-way (or round-trip) private car service between Portuguese cities — or across the border into Spain. They’re the right choice when you want to avoid the LIS→OPO flight (with its 4+ hour airport-to-airport reality), the inflexible train schedule, or the discomfort of long-distance buses.

Each transfer is direct, flat-rate, and includes optional scenic stops along the way (vineyards, historic towns, beach viewpoints) at no extra charge if booked in advance.

Long-distance routes and prices

Lisbon → Porto (313 km · 3 hours)
€450 E-Class · €580 V-Class. Optional stops at Coimbra (university) and Aveiro (Portuguese Venice) add no extra charge.

€580 E-Class · €720 V-Class. Cross-border, EU Schengen, bilingual drivers. Optional Andalusia stops.

Are round-trips discounted?

Yes. Round-trip bookings (same-vehicle return at a later date, often days apart) save approximately 10—15% versus two singles. Common scenarios: Lisbon→Algarve outbound + return a week later, Lisbon→Comporta weekend, Lisbon→Porto→Lisbon as a 3-day trip with overnight in Porto. We hold your return date in our calendar and confirm the driver 48 hours before pickup.

What is a corporate account?

Who uses corporate accounts?

  • Conference and event organizers — Web Summit, embassy receptions, gala dinners, corporate retreats
  • Embassies and consulates — routine and ceremonial transport, dignitary visits, visa logistics
  • Corporate travel teams — recurring executive travel, board meetings, partner roadshows
  • Hotels and concierge services — guest transport with commission program
  • VC and private equity firms — partner meetings, deal flow, portfolio company visits
  • Luxury property managers — guest transport for villa rentals and exclusive estates

All include Mercedes vehicles, flat-rate pricing, English-speaking chauffeurs, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.

ii.How much is a private transfer from Lisbon Airport (LIS)?

The journey takes about 20 minutes.

iii.What’s the difference between a transfer and a chauffeur service?

Transfer pricing is fixed; chauffeur pricing is €85/hour with a 3-hour minimum and includes standby time between stops.

iv.Are private transfers cheaper than Uber in Lisbon?

For solo travelers with no luggage, Uber is often cheaper for short trips. For 2+ passengers, luggage, airport pickups requiring meet-and-greet, or pre-booked timed pickups, private transfers offer better value with flat-rate pricing (no surge), professional licensed chauffeurs, and Mercedes vehicles. A LIS—Lisbon Uber ranges €25—€60 depending on demand; our flat rate is €55 with zero surge possibility.
