Taxi & Transport Scams in St. John's

Taxi Overcharge from YYT Airport

Visitors arriving at St. Johns International Airport (YYT) are sometimes approached by unlicensed drivers offering flat-rate rides to downtown at prices well above the regulated metered fare. The regulated metered fare from YYT to downtown St. Johns runs approximately 0-30 CAD, yet flat-rate offers of 0-80 are common. Some drivers take indirect routes to inflate metered fares for tourists who do not know the city layout.
