Transfer from Lisbon Airpot to Cascais

HI,

Has anyone used a private transfer service from Lisbon Airport that you can recommend?

We arrive in Portugal after a looonnngg trip from Portland. We've been to Europe loads of times before, and we know how tired and brain dead we are after the flight. Since there isn't a direct train to Cascais, we'd prefer a private pickup.

We don't use Uber, so if folks can recommend something other than that, it'd be appreciated (we'd also prefer not to deal with taxis due to various things I've read on here about trouble with them).

We will be taking public transport the rest of the time we'll be in Portugal (and is how we've always travelled in Europe), but we used a private transfer that someone on the Rick Steves' forum suggested from the airport to our first home away from home during our trip to France last year. It saved SO much hassle and worry, and made things super relaxing, so we'd like to do it again for this trip.

Thanks!

Quick note... I did look into Welcome Transfers, but they are saying it is 90 minutes from the Airport to Cascais, whereas the other companies I've looked at all say 30 - 45 minutes. So, that's a tad confusing.

It might be 90 minutes during rush hour traffic, but normally it’s 30-40 minutes. If you will PM me, I can give you a couple of names. But, there are many companies that do the transfers. Expect to pay around €40 with very early or late possibly being more.

For comparison,we were charged €50 plus luggage and toll fees to Cascais ( taxis in Portugal charge extra for luggage,tolls,time of day, weekend/holidays).

Besides local taxis we used this site to call for taxis.We always pre-booked and didn't have any issues.

We also used their estimate page for pricing, real world prices were always higher for the extra fees and stop and go traffic inside the cities.

Thanks for the tip TravelJunkie! I saw him pop up in my searches, but wasn't too sure about it. Always good to get a recommendation from someone you or someone you know has been happy with in the past.
