Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at the taxi stand: Some individuals pose as official cab drivers, quoting inflated flat rates instead of using the meter. Only use taxis from the official queue, verify the taxi has a visible permit, and insist the meter is turned on.
Credit-card skimming in airport taxis: A few drivers have been reported to use handheld terminals that add unauthorized charges or duplicate the fare. Pay with cash when possible, or watch the terminal closely and request a printed receipt showing the exact amount.
Baggage-handler tip hustle: Porters or unofficial helpers at the luggage carousel offer to wheel bags to the taxi rank and then demand an excessive gratuity. Politely decline assistance unless you're using the official airport porter service, whose rates are posted near the carousel.
