Cabbie Con

Yeah here also the usual scam cab drivers. Leaving the airport we had crowds of cab drivers trying to wave us down, all offering a fare that was over 10 times more than it should be. They will use such exuses as:

"But I have to cover my return costs"(which cab doesn't, it's a resort unlike the airport which is out of the way).

"It's a limosine service"(a mercedes or sometimes just a black cab).

"Everyone else will charge the same"(yeah that's cos they are all ripping people off too).

We found that if you go outside the airport you can get a cab on the meter(apparently these cabs are breaking the law whereas the rip off guys upstairs are completely above board).
