What is the "Airport Unlicensed Taxi Scam" scam in Perth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Unlicensed drivers wait outside Perth Airport's international and domestic terminals, offering flat-rate rides that are significantly more expensive than metered fares. Some variants involve taking the passenger to a nearby ATM under the pretense that card payments are not available, then taking the cash and driving off. Use the official 13cabs or Swan Taxis app, or Uber and DiDi from the airport. Never accept rides from anyone who approaches you proactively outside the terminal. Licensed taxis queue at the designated taxi rank and always use meters.
