Scams to watch for in Bangladesh
- Inflated fares and avoiding the meterA driver quotes an inflated fare before the journey. In Chittagong, some drivers quote tourists ten times the going price. In Dhaka, CNG drivers may avoid using the meter and ask you to negotiate instead. Cycle rickshaws do not have meters, so agreeing a fare is normal.
- Small tourist markups in shopsA seller charges a foreign visitor slightly more than a local customer. The difference is usually small. Many market prices are negotiable, and even some shops displaying fixed-price signs may bargain.
- Extra money demanded on arrivalAfter reaching your destination, the driver asks for more than the agreed or metered fare.
