What is the "Taxi Overcharging from Valencia Airport" scam in Valencia?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some taxi drivers at Valencia Airport overcharge tourists by taking longer routes into the city, claiming there are tolls that do not exist, or simply running the meter on a non-standard rate. The official metered fare from the airport to the city centre should be approximately €20–25. Some drivers quote flat rates of €35–50 for the same journey. Use only official taxis from the designated rank at Valencia Airport arrivals. The fare to the city centre should be metered. Ask the driver to confirm they are using Tarifa 1 (the standard rate). Consider the Valencia Metro Line 3 or 5 as a cheaper alternative at around €5.
