Scams to watch for in Slovenia
- High street-pickup taxi chargesTaxis waiting on the street usually add a high street-pickup charge. A short ride can cost €25 or more. Taxi fares vary between companies.
- Opportunistic theft of belongingsUnattended belongings may be stolen. Leaving valuables visible in a parked car creates an easy opportunity, especially while you are away doing an activity.
- Overpriced flea-market goodsStalls sell knick-knacks at high prices. Some goods are broken or of little value. This is a risk of paying too much rather than a clearly described fraud.
