Scams to watch for in Azerbaijan
- Inflated taxi faresDrivers often quote tourists around twice the usual fare. Starting a trip without agreeing on the price leaves room for overcharging. At Baku airport, limited taxi competition can also lead to high fares, especially late at night. A high airport price alone does not prove fraud.
- Taxi price increased on arrivalThe driver agrees to a fare before departure, then demands much more when you reach your destination.
- Fake police officers stealing valuablesCriminals posing as police officers stop foreigners and steal their documents or money. A uniform alone does not establish that someone is a real officer.
