What is the "Taxi Overcharge from Kelowna Airport" scam in Kelowna?

Question

Accepted Answer

Unlicensed drivers waiting outside the Kelowna International Airport arrivals area quote tourists flat rates significantly above the regulated metered fare to downtown Kelowna. The legitimate metered fare to downtown runs approximately 5-35 CAD, while flat rates of 0-80 are commonly quoted. Drivers may also claim the meter is broken to justify a pre-agreed inflated rate. Use only Kelowna taxis from the official rank outside arrivals, or pre-arrange an Uber or lyft pickup. Confirm the driver will use the meter before getting in. Rideshare apps show the fare estimate before you commit.
