Problems with "Airport Transfer Tourist Transport" Company

9 years ago

We operate a new hotel less than a mile from the airport. Round trip it is 2 miles. On 3 occasions over the last 2 months, some guests-- not knowing how far the hotel is-- have been duped into agreeing to pay between $40 (for a car) and $50-60 (once for a car and once for a van) for this 3 minute drive using "Airport Transfer Tourist Transport"

While the taxis try to overcharge foreigners coming on the 3 minute ride by asking for $10-15 when it should be $5 or even less, charging $40-60 is simply criminal for a three minute ride even if its a group and they need a van.

We're preparing a formal complaint to EAAI (airport management), INTUR, and the airport police. If anyone has had any similar experiences with this company (not the taxis but the new van booths), please let us know.

We're going to be filing a formal complaint with the EAAI (airport), INTUR, etc. and would be interested to know if others have had similar experiences with them.
