Taxi & Transport Scams in Saskatoon

Taxi Overcharging

Some unlicensed or unmetered taxis operating around Saskatoons downtown core and Midtown Plaza charge tourists flat rates far above the metered fare. Visitors arriving at John G. Diefenbaker International Airport are particularly targeted, with drivers quoting fixed prices before the passenger enters the vehicle. The actual metered fare to downtown typically runs 5-35, but inflated flat rates of 0-80 are sometimes quoted.
