Got your bags packed and ready to go? Traveling is a way to recharge your energy and especially rest, but you can also get off on the wrong foot by falling victim to these travel scams. Hope this will never happen to you. But it is better to be prepared.
Beware of people who try these travel scams. Always be alert and have a safe trip!
1. Finding a hotel
As you leave the airport, you will probably be greeted by several people who promise all good deals if you are staying at their hotel or apartment. You choose one of them and find upon your arrival that their offer is really not worth it. You are therefore faced with a waste of time and money. A good piece of advice, book your hotel in advance from hotel comparison sites to assess and find the best.
2. Getting to your hotel
You have just arrived and left the airport to reach your home or hotel. A driver approaches you and tells you that he can take you to your hotel without making you wait. Make sure you have an official or private taxi driver driven as needed.
Also, prefer to book your driver in advance. Check the prices in advance so that you don’t have any unpleasant surprises on the spot and during your ride.
3. An irresistible offer from your room
An unknown person slips a menu under your living room door! You call the number displayed on the card and place an order. You will notice that the food never arrives and they keep all of your credit card information.
If you want to make a reservation, check with the hotel for recommendations before calling an unknown number from a leaflet slipped under your door.
