Unofficial Taxi Services: Unlicensed drivers may approach travelers inside the terminal or baggage claim offering rides. Avoid by only using official taxi stands located outside baggage claim on the lower level, or pre-book through verified ride-sharing apps. Look for properly marked vehicles with official permits.

Overcharging by Ground Transportation: Some drivers may claim meters are broken or quote inflated flat rates, especially to unfamiliar travelers. Avoid by checking approximate fare ranges in advance using ride-sharing apps for comparison, agreeing on fares before entering vehicles, or using the official airport taxi service with regulated rates.

Fake Parking Attendants: Individuals may pose as parking lot attendants offering to help with luggage or directing you to 'special' parking areas for a fee. Avoid by only following official airport signage to parking areas, declining unsolicited help with luggage, and paying only at official payment kiosks or booths with clear airport branding.
