Where do taxis pick up at PDX?
At PDX, arriving taxi passengers meet their driver inside Level 1 of the Short-Term Parking garage, not on the main roadway. After you leave the plane, follow airport signs to the Transportation Plaza and look for the taxi pillar inside the garage.
The Port of Portland names Broadway Cab Company, Flat Cab, PDX Yellow Cab, LLC, and Radio Cab Company as airport taxi providers. Because contact details and pickup arrangements can change, check the official site before you go. For the broader airport-to-Happy Valley trip, this guide to getting from PDX to Happy Valley covers other arrival details.
What should you confirm before getting in?
Confirm the company and destination with the driver before you start the ride. PDX Yellow Cab says it serves Happy Valley, but its fare calculator does not provide a Happy Valley estimate. Ask the taxi company about the fare before setting off rather than relying on an online estimate.
If you need a wheelchair-accessible taxi, PDX says you can request one through PDX WAV by phone. Accessible vehicles can also be requested through a transportation network company app.
How long is the drive to Happy Valley?
The drive from PDX to Scott Creek Farm takes about 22 minutes by car. Travel time can vary, so confirm the expected fare and journey with your taxi provider when you arrange the ride.
A room at Scott Creek Farm gives you a place to settle in after the airport journey.
What about late arrivals and luggage?
For a taxi pickup, follow the Transportation Plaza signs to Level 1 of the Short-Term Parking garage, even if you arrive late. Contact a taxi company to confirm availability and any arrangements you need for your luggage before you travel.
PDX WAV is available around the clock, every day of the week, for wheelchair-accessible taxi requests. You can call the service to request a ride, or request an accessible vehicle through a transportation network company app.
How does a taxi compare with other airport transfers?
A taxi offers a driver pickup at the airport, while app-based rideshare services give you another way to request a car. Uber, Lyft, and Wingz are available at the airport. Shuttle options from Portland International Airport are another alternative to a taxi.
For Uber or Lyft, request your ride in the relevant app and follow signs to the Transportation Plaza on Level 1 of the Short-Term Parking garage.
