Creator's Key Takeaways

Taxi Driver quoted me a price to take me and a friend into Puerto Vallarta but once at the destination he asked for double saying the price was actually per person

he also then said he didn't have change for the notes when I was trying to pay the fare so I had to pay even more

I asked a taxi driver taking me to a beach to come back and fetch me at a set time the driver asked to be paid up front to guarantee it but never returned

he kept taking me to shopping venues places where he clearly was getting some sort of Kickback

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check if the fare quote is per person or for the trip
✓Always have small notes with you for payment
✓Do not pay up front for a taxi to return
✓Check where the taxi driver is going to take you and stress that you do not want to go shopping
