Scams to watch for in Armenia
- Changing an agreed taxi fareThe driver agrees to a fare, then demands more at the end. They may claim you misunderstood the price. An unclear agreement about currency or whether the fare covers the whole car can lead to a dispute.
- Taxi detours and deliberately slow ridesA driver takes a longer route or drives especially slowly to increase the fare. This can also happen with app bookings.
- Inflated taxi fares and meter excusesThe driver leaves the meter off or says it is broken, then asks for a large flat fare. Unbranded taxis may also quote foreigners higher prices.
