Taxi Travel

Taxis in Oregon are easy, convenient, and available in most larger communities. In Portland the flag-drop rate is $2.50 and then $2.30 per mile. Make sure to ask whether the driver takes credit cards, whether there's a minimum fare, and whether there are charges for extra passengers. Other charges may include waiting times and airport minimums.
