Unlicensed 'taxi' touts inside the terminal claim the official taxi queue is closed and offer flat-rate rides that cost significantly more than the meter. Only use the clearly marked taxi dispatch stand outside baggage claim and confirm the driver starts the meter.
Hotel shuttle drivers who are not employed by your hotel may solicit passengers in baggage claim, then demand cash payment or inflated tips. Verify the shuttle is branded with your hotel's name and ask the driver to confirm your reservation before boarding.
Rideshare pickup confusion at Richmond International where unofficial drivers position themselves near the designated rideshare zones and charge increase pricing without using the app. Confirm your driver's name, license plate, and vehicle match exactly what's shown in your app before getting in.
