How to avoid taxi scams at Zayed International Airport
- Only use metered official rank taxis (silver/gold) — never accept "black car" offers from touts.
- Meter must start at AED 25 (day) or AED 30 (night 22:00-06:00) — AED 25 airport surcharge is legit.
- Dubai transfer from AUH is AED 250-350 fixed — NOT metered.
