Guys, this goes for any country you're visiting: please be wary of overly friendly taxi people approaching you at stations offering rides. It's so easy to get scammed (overcharged) by them if you don't know the normal fare/rate. If you didn't have a chance to check it online, just ask one or two locals at the station what the normal rate is before getting in a cab. And whenever possible, take Uber instead. I know that wasn't an option.

@JordanandEmily

Жыл бұрын

Definitely should have asked another local, you're right. He was very keen to get us away from the locals and into his car as quickly as possible, which should have been a warning sign! I think we MAY have been involved in another scam when trying to leave Serbia, you'd think we would have learnt our lesson!

Well 40€ is maybe explained by the different fees he has to pay at the land border checks such as disinfection when entering back to Romania as Serbia is not part of EU and road tax in Serbia. The reason of why the driver is afraid from the police is that he is not real taxi and therefore operates on the black market.

You never need to bribe Serbian border police nowadays. I believe your driver gives them beer because he is doing something he has no license for, driving people over the border for money. It could also be that on an occasion his passenger(s) were caught with marijuana and he needs to keep the police happy in order to avoid a full search.
