Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at Cascais Municipal Aerodrome exit offering flat-rate rides to Lisbon at inflated prices. Always use the official taxi queue or pre-book through the airport's recommended providers displayed at the terminal entrance.
Taxi meters being 'broken' on short rides from the aerodrome to Cascais town center, with drivers demanding fixed tourist rates. Insist on meter use or agree on fare before departure, and note the taxi number if refused.
Rental car agents at the aerodrome adding unauthorized insurance charges or fuel pre-purchase options to contracts. Read agreements carefully before signing and photograph any pre-existing damage with the agent present.
