What is the "Taxi Overcharging from the Station" scam in Rimini?

Question

Accepted Answer

Taxis from Rimini railway station to the beach hotels quote flat rates to foreign tourists that are above the metered fare. The distance from the station to the beach is approximately 3-4 km and should cost 8-12 EUR by meter, but tourists are frequently quoted 15-25 EUR. Use the official taxi rank at the station with metered taxis. The meter should run from departure. For longer distances to hotels north of the centre, confirm a meter rate before accepting any vehicle. Use the itTaxi app for booking in advance.
