Family travel with child seats — quick answers

Are child car seats legally required in Portugal?

Yes, in standard passenger transport under Portuguese law (Art. 55º CE), children under 12 years and under 135 cm must travel in an approved restraint system. Lisbon Direct provides certified, age-appropriate seats free of charge.

What information do you need to prepare the right seat?

Simply share each child’s age and approximate weight in the booking form. We prepare rear-facing infant seats, toddler harness seats, or high-back boosters before dispatching the vehicle.

Is there an extra charge for child seats or boosters?

No. All child car seats and boosters are 100% free of charge when requested in advance with your booking.

Green Kilometres

Every journey gives something back.

For every 250 km completed, Lisbon Direct funds the planting of one native tree or shrub in Portugal.

We do not claim our transfers are carbon neutral. This is a practical commitment to native reforestation, biodiversity, and landscape recovery as our company grows.

250 km completed

Completed transfer kilometres we track each month from client trips.

1 native tree or shrub

We fund planting through Portuguese partners focused on native species—not a neutrality claim.

Monthly total, rounded up

At month end: total km ÷ 250, round up, then fund that number of plantings.

Trusted by Travelers

Guests often mention punctual drivers, clean vehicles, and straightforward airport pickup.

Common questions

Booking Lisbon Direct

What should I send for a fixed quote?

Send pickup and drop-off addresses, date, time, passenger count, luggage details, and flight or cruise details when relevant. Lisbon Direct confirms vehicle type, route, and fixed price in writing before travel day.

What happens if my Lisbon Airport flight is delayed?

When flight tracking is included, send a valid flight number. We track the flight and adjust pickup to the actual arrival time. Flight delays do not count as customer delay. Airport pickups with flight tracking include 75 minutes of waiting after actual flight arrival.

Can you prepare child seats for airport pickups?

Yes. Baby seats, child seats, and boosters are available on request when booked ahead. Share each child’s age and weight so we can prepare the right equipment before pickup.

Is the price per passenger or per vehicle?

Prices are quoted per vehicle unless stated otherwise. The written quote confirms what is included. Extra waiting, extra stops, route changes, or oversized luggage declared late may create extra charges.

Can we book transfers outside Lisbon city?

Yes. Lisbon Direct covers Cascais, Sintra, Porto, the Algarve, Fátima, cruise terminals, and intercity routes across Portugal. Share your exact addresses for a fixed written quote.
