Scams to watch for in Jordan
- Taxi meter refusal and inflated faresThe driver leaves the meter off and demands an inflated fare at the end. Meters are rarely used in Irbid. In Amman, drivers may also offer an expensive return airport ride after bringing you into the city.
- A whole-taxi price becomes a per-person priceYou agree a fare, but the driver later says that amount applies to each passenger rather than the whole car.
- Guides and drivers steer you to overpriced businessesA guide or taxi driver takes you to businesses that pay them commission. You pay for their service and then face inflated prices or a hotel surcharge. A guide standing beside you while you ask the price can affect the quote.
