Creator's Key Takeaways

let's face it Crew sports are a perfect place for tricks and scams as large numbers of Cruisers pass through daily

they were quoted a price but once they got there the taxi driver said oh no no no no you have to pay double because the price I quoted was per person

if you're going to get a taxi driver tour be absolutely clear about where they're going to take you and stress that you don't want to go shopping

beware people giving you free gifts or samples if anyone's handing out anything do not take it

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check taxi rates and have small notes to pay

✓Be clear with taxi drivers about tour destinations and avoid shopping stops

✓Take a video when picking up and dropping off hired vehicles to dispute damage charges

✓Do not accept free gifts or samples from vendors

✓Agree on a clear price before taking photos with costumed characters
