Taxi & Transport Scams in Glasgow

Unlicensed Taxi Overcharging from Nightlife Areas

Unlicensed minicabs and unofficial taxis operate heavily around Sauchiehall Street, Bath Street, and the West End nightlife areas late at night. Drivers charge arbitrary fares with no meter, targeting intoxicated or tired revellers who just want to get home. Fares can be five to ten times the legitimate rate, and there have been incidents of passengers being driven to remote areas and threatened.
