Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed airport taxi touts inside the arrival hall will quote a flat 'airport rate' that is double or triple the metered fare. Ignore anyone who approaches inside the terminal and instead follow signs to the official airport taxi counter where you receive a fixed-price coupon.
Some drivers of coupon-based airport taxis switch to a tampered meter once they leave the airport zone, claiming the coupon only covers the first part of the journey. Insist the coupon covers the entire agreed destination and threaten to call the airport taxi hotline printed on the receipt.
Baggage porters at the curb may grab luggage without being asked and then demand an inflated fee. Keep hold of your bags or clearly state 'no porter' and only use the official porter service with posted rates near the taxi stand.
