Scams to watch for in Guam
- Theft targeting rental cars and valuables in vehiclesThieves may target rental cars because their stickers identify them. Valuables left in vehicles are at risk. Property crime is relatively high, although no specific theft technique is described.
- Unclear taxi fares and unused metersTaxi meters are not always used consistently. Starting a ride without a working meter or an agreed fare can leave you facing an unexpected charge. Taxi fares are relatively high, so an expensive ride alone does not prove dishonesty.
