Strongly recommended to book Taxi (Cab) with "TAXI" symbol and Taxi number on it
Dear new comers,
I had bad experience on my first trip to USA. I was travelling from JFK airport to Washington DC. I need to catch a taxi from JFK to 303 West street, New York city, NY. I was afraid to take unknown cab. So I trusted on Indian taxi driver. (There was announcement by airport people that only take Taxi infront of airport). I trusted on Indian CAB and he charged me $200 and it was expected to have $50- $100. When I asked, "how much it could be before I go in his taxi?" He told it will be $50. At the end of trip, he asked $265. He told that I told you it would be around 250 not 50. I bargained with him and he cahrged $200.
So only catch yellow taxi and Taxi No and "Taxi" symbol written on it unless you book in advance a taxi for long trip. Even dont book taxi from airport person (AIR india or other airlines). Persons over there get commission and book taxi for you with higher rate...
In short, please book only taxi with "TAXI" symbol and with Taxi number on it to save money.
