Question 1

What is the "Unofficial Airport Taxi Hustle" scam in Nashville?

Accepted Answer

Unofficial drivers solicit rides outside Nashville International Airport quoting flat rates significantly higher than metered taxis or rideshare apps. Some pose as legitimate rideshare drivers but have no app affiliation. Use only designated taxi stands at BNA or request your Uber/Lyft through the app and verify the driver name, photo, and license plate before entering the vehicle. Never accept unsolicited ride offers inside the terminal.

Question 2

What is the "Rideshare Impersonation on Lower Broadway" scam in Nashville?

Accepted Answer

Drivers without rideshare affiliation approach people waiting for Uber or Lyft outside bars on Lower Broadway and claim to be their requested driver. They then charge inflated flat rates in cash for rides that would cost a fraction via app, and some have taken routes through unfamiliar neighborhoods to justify higher prices. Always verify the make, model, color, and license plate displayed in your rideshare app before entering any vehicle. Confirm the driver says your name — you should never volunteer it first.
