Is there anything you should be wary of when getting a taxi in Bergamo?

Many people feel a little apprehensive about using taxis in foreign countries. This fear stems less from issues over safety but more out of fear of being overcharged for the journey. This is understandable when you take into account the different currencies used at each destination, the language barrier, and the unfamiliar surroundings.

On top of this, horror stories of travellers being ripped off by local merchants are ten a penny, so it’s hardly surprising people feel a little cautious over using local taxis for their journeys.

Sadly, getting ripped off still happens but there are ways to protect yourself from this happening.

How to protect yourself from being ripped off by taxi drivers in Italy

As we said, getting ripped off by local merchants when travelling is something that everyone needs to be wary of. So, to help you keep your hard earned money in your pocket, here are a few tips you can use to protect yourself from being overcharged by your taxi driver:

Book your taxi in advance. This way you’ll have an idea of how much the fare will be and a pre-arranged time for pick up. If you can’t call ahead to a taxi firm, then speak to your travel agent who may be able to sort out booking one for you. Sometimes you can even head online and book a taxi via the company’s own website.

If you can’t book ahead then know exactly where you are going and give a clear indication of where this is to the driver. Don’t hesitant as this can be seen as being vulnerable. Make sure you work out a rough cost of the potential fare in advance from any information provided, including the taxi company’s website. If this cannot be found, then Google how much the fare should be and be pre-armed with this information.

Don’t pay in advance. Some taxi drivers will ask you for an upfront payment and insist this will be a cheaper option. It seldom is. Check that they have a meter and that it is running when the journey starts.
