Tips & Tricks to Avoid Taxi Scams & Frauds in Istanbul Airport
- Longer Routes: Sometimes, cab taxi drivers deliberately extend routes to raise meter fees. Instead, they may tell you that the usual route does not fit your schedule or your way.
- Broken Meter: A driver can do so by claiming that his meter is broken and demanding a higher fixed fee to be paid by you. Surprisingly, they can so easily have a scandalous meter showing a higher fare.
- Overcharging: Drivers might increase the prices by not resetting the meter to its starting point, starting from a higher number, or asking for an additional amount of money for things like luggage or daytime.
- Fake Bills: When the driver finishes collecting the fare, he could say your money is fake, or ask for more. Avoiding this hassle is done by exchanging currency at an established place before you travel.
- Unofficial Taxis: Beware of unlicensed taxis often appearing in airports or tourist places. Go for only legal taxis from recognized agencies.
- No Change: Some taxi drivers will tell you they are short of change, hoping you don't mind if they get extra money. Bring a few smaller bills along so you do not fall into this trap.
- High Airport Fees: At airports, taxi companies may mark up their tariff sheets heavily, especially for tourists. Check your rates at the info desk.
- Currency Tricks: If you decide to pay in foreign currency, make sure you are not getting ripped off. Look up the exchange rate before you make the transaction.
- Distractions: Intend to distract you by rendezvous or showing sights to disorganize your attention and your meter.
- Fake ID: Those fakers may present themselves as real drivers, though possibly not with the right documents. ID matching the vehicle and the driver's license will always be verified.
