Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal or just outside offering rides at 'special rates.' They often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. AVOID: Only use official taxi ranks outside the arrivals area, or pre-book through the booking widgets on this site. Official Porto taxis are cream-colored with a taxi sign on top.

Fake Metro Ticket Helpers: Individuals may offer to 'help' you buy Metro tickets at the machines, then charge you extra fees or give incorrect change. Some may claim the machines are broken and offer to sell you tickets directly. AVOID: Use the official Metro ticket machines yourself - they have English language options. If you need help, ask Metro staff in official uniforms.

Overpriced 'Express' Shuttle Services: Unofficial operators may claim to offer 'express airport shuttle' services at premium prices, but provide standard transport or don't show up at all. AVOID: Book airport transfers through verified booking platforms (use the widgets on this site). Check current prices and reviews before committing to any service.
