Scams to watch for in Poland
- Taxi overcharging and misleading taxi signsSome drivers charge tourists far too much. Unaffiliated cars may use fake company phone numbers. Some vehicles look like taxis but are registered as transportation services and set much higher prices. Other drivers use the wrong meter rate, take a longer route or add extra charges. Reports cover Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice and Lublin.
- Airport ride offers with inflated faresA driver approaches arriving travellers and offers a taxi or Uber ride. The fare can be much higher than a properly booked ride. This is described at Kraków Airport and other Polish airports.
- Poor-value currency exchangeSome exchange offices give much worse rates than other offices. Orange Interchange branches are singled out for poor rates. Airport exchange desks can also have large margins.
