What is the "Airport Taxi Overcharging" scam in Vilnius?

Question

Accepted Answer

Unofficial taxis at Vilnius Airport charge tourists up to 30 EUR for a ride that should cost 10–15 EUR. Drivers refuse to use the meter or quote flat rates before the tourist knows any better, targeting arriving passengers who are unfamiliar with local fares. Use Bolt or Uber from the airport — both have fixed upfront pricing and are widely available at Vilnius Airport. If you prefer an official taxi, insist on the meter and confirm the starting rate. The official Vilnius taxi fare from the airport should be under 15 EUR.
