I was over in Brussels last weekend at a trade fair in Expo. We got a taxi from the Airport to the show and it cost €32. We also got a taxi when returning from the show to the Airport. However, even though the taxi journey was quicker and it was during the day the taxi driver charged us €45. To me it was an absolute rip off and does nothing to encourage tourists to come to visit the city. When I questioned the drive about the high rate he got very excited and was less than pleasant. I got his registration no. for his car which was XNW369. The number on the inside of the car was 6617 and he also wrote the following references on the receipt - 722424627 XNV643. He was clearly giving us a load of numbers as I told him I was not happy and was considering reporting him. When I disputed the charge he then wrote on the ticket that he was waiting 15 minutes. This is totally untrue as the only reason that we were waiting was to dispute the price with him when we got out and this was for 2-e3 minutes at max. I do believe that something should be done about these unscruptulous drivers who are ripping off tourists and giving the city a bad name.
I look forward to receiving your comments.
Kind regards,
Bronwen Coyle
