Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Bangor International Airport occasionally claim the meter is "broken" and quote inflated flat rates for the short ride into downtown. Insist on the meter or agree on a fare before leaving the airport zone.
Some off-airport parking shuttles have been reported to add unexpected "fuel surcharges" or "late-night fees" on the return trip. Clarify all charges when you first board and ask for a printed receipt.
Rideshare drivers unfamiliar with the airport layout may ask passengers to walk to the nearby cell-phone lot instead of using the designated pickup area, then start the meter early, wait at the official rideshare pickup spot and report any driver who refuses to come there.
