  1. Beware Of The Touts At The Airport For a few years, unfortunately, it has to be noted that the revival of pseudo "private drivers" present mainly in the halls of stations and airports is clearly on the rise. The risks incurred are multiple for these drivers but also for the passengers, who are often caught off guard. These touts start from the simple principle that the customers they manage to convince often come from a foreign country and therefore do not know the rates charged from the airport to elsewhere. In this case, they try to negotiate with the customers at the airport terminals and take favor of first contact. At first sight, they seem intentioned and benevolent, but this is a trap used to strip these uninformed customers. The technique is well established; for lack of knowledge of the passengers, the driver announces a price that can, unfortunately, change during the transfer for no apparent reason; customers caught off guard have no other solution than to pay this new price, often greatly exaggerated. Avoid Fake Drivers To Prevent Dangers. The risks run by the driver are very high; a taxi driver has the power and the possibility of loading passengers on a sidewalk or elsewhere without a prior reservation, unlike a fake driver who, in all cases, is obliged to have a reservation in paper or electronic format. This lack of protocol can already lead to non-coverage by insurance in the event of a bodily or material accident, the damage which can quickly become very expensive, would, unfortunately, be borne by the passengers, heavy fines, as well as severe prison sentences, have been put in place for several years in order to put an end to this entirely fraudulent practice, but this phenomenon remains difficult to control. So, you must imperatively ensure when you hire the services of a driver that he is in good standing in order to avoid all types of problems which could affect your stay or perhaps put an end to it.

  2. Inquire Before Landing It is essential and very important to inquire before landing on foreign soil that you discover for the first time about the regulations in force; these texts will allow you to be able to identify certain practices employed by these touts in the halls of stations and airports. Favor official taxi drivers indicated precisely in stations and airports, or if you opt for high-end service, do not hesitate to book your private driver directly via a website or a travel agency that sometimes also offers this type of service to its customers. Don't Fall Into The "Tourist Trap." Although the controls carried out by the authorities are regular, these touts are extremely well organized, which often allows them to stop the police. They can be persuasive by making you understand that it's a good deal when without knowing it, the price advertised to the customer is already well above what could be called a "tourist trap"! Stays abroad are often organized for several months or years in advance sometimes, so take all the precautions to bring you the security and peace of mind of staying without the slightest incident.
