RE: A stupid mistake in an airport that cost me $1000
Taxis are a tough one globally. It is something that constantly annoys me. In cities where they have apps of some sort it is a lot easier to avoid this racket.
Yeah where I live in London you would never get something like that happen, bolt app is actually cheaper than mexico taxis and they are supposedly third world! in Mexico there was just one taxi Rate which was $70 even for a 10 min ride and they would actually lie to you that, that was the only way you could leave the airport and all club together and confirm the price. I later found out that other taxi drivers can’t enter the airport zone because it’s a mafia run it really put me off the whole place to be honest with you in a country does that. I don’t think I’d ever go back to Mexico unless it was the only place I could go. This kind of attitude really pisses me off and just sets a holiday off on a bad note. But it is a note to be a lot more planned with preparation in future once you get off the plane and you’ve got no Internet just a hotel address you kind of screwed.
that sucks! This is good information to know. I have been fortunate enough that every time I have visited Mexico I had a local contact that was meeting me at the airport so this never happened to me. It doesn't surprise me at all though that this exists.
