Taxicabs

The average taxi fare from the airport to downtown is approximately $35 before gratuity. The one-way trip takes 20-40 minutes. You can find taxis waiting in the center section of the airport terminal’s lower roadway outside of the baggage claim; to get back to the airport from the city center, you can order a cab through the city’s main operators or from a hotel with a dedicated taxi stand.

Using Uber, Lyft or Wingz?

At PDX, just as you would elsewhere, use the Uber, Lyft or Wingz apps to request your ride. Make sure you download the app and have a payment method before you arrive at the airport. The average cost to get downtown is between $30 - $45.

Where to pick up your ride?

Follow signs to baggage claim, make sure you are on the lower level. Once you have your luggage in hand and are ready to go, request a ride and head directly to Island 2 outside of baggage claim.

Once downtown Portland, getting around is easy and attractions are available by walking or by the MAX Light Rail system.
