Tricky taxi drivers – now this is true. You have to be very careful about picking a taxi driver. Unfortunately, there are lots of taxi drivers, who will charge you insane money for your ride. Always double check your price first with the driver and let them turn the taxi meter on. If they do not have taxi meter on, you are not obliged to pay them without your receipt. Be careful here.
