Question 1

What is the "Inflated taxi rates from AC bus terminal and airport" scam in Atlantic City?

Accepted Answer

Taxi drivers at the Atlantic City bus terminal and Atlantic City International Airport sometimes quote flat rates of 40-70 dollars for short rides to boardwalk hotels that should be 10-18 dollars metered. Some refuse to run the meter or take indirect routes. Require the meter to be on at the start of the ride. Use Uber or Lyft as a cross-check. Refuse any flat rate outside posted airport/terminal rate cards.

Question 2

What is the "Boardwalk rolling chair operators charging tourist rates" scam in Atlantic City?

Accepted Answer

Licensed rolling chair services on the Boardwalk have posted flat rates by block. Unofficial operators push similar-looking chairs and charge 3-5x the posted rate, or quote one price verbally and demand more at drop-off. Some operators are not insured and accidents have no recourse. Use only licensed rolling chair operators with posted rates and clear company branding. Confirm the price and destination before boarding, and pay the posted rate at the end.
