Taxi & Transport Scams in Willemstad

Hato Airport Unofficial Taxi Overcharge

Unlicensed drivers position themselves just outside the arrivals hall at Hato International Airport and solicit passengers before they can reach the official taxi rank. Fares to Punda or Otrobanda in Willemstad are quoted in USD at two to three times the regulated rate. Drivers may claim the meter is broken or that the official rate does not apply to tourists arriving late at night.
