How it works
Unmarked taxis wait outside Copenhagen Airport arrivals offering rides at flat rates significantly lower than official taxis. Drivers claim to take shortcuts but drive in circles, request cash payment only, and overcharge when you reach the destination. Some refuse to activate meters and demand cash upfront.
