FAQ's
How much does it cost to hire a private investigator in Porto?
We don't work with hourly rates or a public price list because each investigation has a different scope. Most of the market charges between €40 and €70 per hour — a model where twelve hours of work easily translate into a bill of thousands of euros. We present a fixed budget, defined after a free and confidential initial assessment: the agreed value is the final value, with travel within the Greater Porto area, mileage, and technical equipment already included.
Which areas in the North do they cover from Porto?
We operate throughout the Porto district — including Vila Nova de Gaia, Matosinhos, Maia, Gondomar, Valongo and Vila do Conde — and extend our activity to the districts of Braga, Aveiro and Viana do Castelo. For cases requiring travel outside this area, the travel cost is indicated in the initial quote.
Do I need to travel to your office in Porto?
It is not mandatory. The case can be opened by phone, video call or email, with the same contractual formality. If a meeting is necessary, and if travel is difficult, we will travel to the location that is most convenient for the client within the metropolitan area.
Do they conduct surveillance on weekends and at night?
Yes. Most useful surveillance happens precisely outside of office hours — evenings, weekends, and holidays. Planning is done based on the specific routine of the case, not a fixed schedule, and the team is sized according to the area and the type of monitoring needed.
Do they conduct electronic sweeps and bug detection in Porto?
Yes. We conduct sweeps of offices, homes, and vehicles to detect microphones, hidden cameras, and GPS trackers, as well as analyze mobile phones to detect spyware. The sweep is performed on-site using radio frequency and thermographic equipment, and concludes with a technical report detailing the findings.
Do you work with law firms and companies in Porto?
Yes, it's a significant part of our activity in the North. We support law firms in gathering evidence for family, labor, and civil cases, and companies in cases of unfair competition, absenteeism, information leaks, and verification of business partners. There are specific conditions for regular collaborations.
Is your agency accredited?
We are members of LIDEPPE (no. 33), WAD — World Association of Detectives (member no. 1687), APDPE — Asociación Profesional de Detectives Privados de España (member no. 1326) and IKD . All work is carried out in compliance with the GDPR and the legal limits applicable to the collection of information in Portugal.
