Avoid unlicensed taxis

So-called "gypsy" cab drivers are sometimes legit, but you generally have no way of knowing this before you hop into the vehicle. And if you are overcharged or mistreated, you have little chance of disputing the incident. Use authorized cabs. And if you're unsure, check your guidebook or ask at your hotel or the tourist board for information about which cab companies are reputable.
