Got into a United Cab last night at TPA (Tampa International). Gave the driver the street address and name of the hotel I was booked into (Howard Johnson's SUITES, 3314 S. Dale Mabry). Hotels
com listed the hotel as 2 miles from TPA. Fare was supposed to be $15. Driver insisted there was only one HJ, and took me to the wrong location. I gave him the address again... he feigned surprise and told me it would be another $20 to take me to a second address. When I argued with him, he charged me ONLY $23. The entire trip he gave me the song and dance about how broke he was, how few fares he got.
The hotel told me they have complained about this, over and over, to the cab company.
The shuttle is $12, barely half of what this lying, cheating cab driver charged me last night.
Cons: Lying, Cheating Driver(s)
