Lisbon, Oct 2026
I hired Rosa to drive me to the airport in Lisbon but due to unforeseen circumstances she couldn't make the day, she found a replacement in good time who took us to the airport instead. Both Rosa and the replacement kept in touch with me throughout and arrived on time, Cannot fault them at all. They were exceptionally polite and professional, very helpful with the luggage and the price was fair and transparent, worth every euro.

I had friends over or family and we booked a trip with her and it was super nice. She was so friendly, totally on time, and I was super happy with how everything went. The car was super nice, clean, with water and little goodies - little bonbons - not what you normally expect. The price was okay, just normal, and I totally recommend her.

Since the first moment I talked to Bruno, he was super attentive and gave me lots of insights and the different prices I needed. I chose him because he was the first to call to really understand what I wanted, and the price felt fair compared to others. He arranged a bus to Fatima for lots of people, a van for my bridesmaids, and a wedding car for me and my husband from the church to the venue, with some nice luxury options. The service was amazing and I really liked working with him.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring drivers in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking drivers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring drivers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring drivers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say drivers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, drivers are usually called motoristas privados. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find drivers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
