Taxi and airport transfer scams: how to avoid them

Arriving tired and not knowing the city, it's easy to fall for an inflated price. A few minutes of preparation avoid the problem.

How to avoid the problem

Before you arrive

Research roughly what the trip costs and book the transfer through an official channel or via your hotel.

At the airport exit

Use the official taxi queue, ask for the meter or agree the price before getting in, and distrust anyone who approaches you inside the terminal.

What to do if you've already been overcharged

With a driver waiting for you

Check that the name on the sign and the booking match yours before getting in.

If you're overcharged

Ask for a receipt, note the plate number and complain to the service or the local transport authority.

A simpler way to check your trip

To check that the transfer appears in your booking and the details match, upload your confirmations to AuditorTravel: it flags what doesn't add up with a traffic light (🟢 🟡 🔴).

You pay once per trip, it's not a subscription you have to remember to cancel.
