Scams to watch for in Georgia
- Inflated taxi fares and pushy driversDrivers quote tourists high fares. At Tbilisi Airport, some charge several times the usual fare or falsely claim a price is the official rate. Drivers approach passengers straight after baggage claim and may become intimidating when refused. In Gori, drivers outside the Stalin Museum push tours to Uplistsikhe and quote much higher prices.
- Taxi drivers refusing to give changeA driver says they cannot change a large banknote and keeps more than the agreed fare. Large notes can genuinely be difficult to change, but this is also used as an excuse.
- Higher marshrutka fares for touristsSome minibus drivers charge tourists several lari more than local passengers. At Ortachala, the listed example is a driver asking for 12 lari for the Qax route when the ticket-office fare is 10 lari.
