I heard this so many times, that I bought a yellow shirt that they wear to fit in...ha ha ha.

But even baring in mind the tolls my chap really tried it on. He was from the official airport taxi rank where they charge a set rate. He tried to charge almost 3x the set rate! And he'd covered his photo and details. A tell tale sign! Enjoy the rest of your travels..... Cheers Sebastien

I thought our cab driver from the airport tried to overcharge us to until I realized that he was in his full right to charge us extra for airport pickup + toll roads. Thanks for the comment, Kev.

One tried to charge me over double until I pretended to phone the number in the cab. But also try not to get into the mindset that everyone is out to rip you off. They're not. Just use your noggin.
