Family Safety Warning

Uber vs Private Transfer:
Don't Gamble with Safety

In Lisbon, apps are great. In the Algarve, relying on them for airport runs can mean missed flights and illegal child transport.

The "Child Seat Lottery"

Did you know? Regular taxis in Portugal are EXEMPT from carrying child seats. It is legal for them to transport your baby on your lap on the highway.

The Uber/Bolt Risk

Most app drivers rarely carry seats because they take up trunk space. If you request one, they likely won't have it, or will cancel when they see children.

The AT TESTE Guarantee

We provide clean, sanitized, and age-appropriate seats (Baby, Child, Booster) for FREE. They are pre-installed before we arrive.
