What is the "Taxi Overcharge from Mombasa" scam in Diani Beach?

Question

Accepted Answer

Taxi drivers at Mombasa airport and in Mombasa city charge tourists inflated fares for the 30-kilometer transfer to Diani Beach, sometimes quoting prices four or five times what local passengers pay. Some drivers claim a new toll road or government fee justifies the premium, which is false. Pre-arrange airport transfers through your hotel or use a meter-regulated taxi and confirm the approximate fare in advance. Ask your hotel for the expected rate before you leave, and do not pay until you arrive.
