No company name? No NIP? No nothing? This is jot a bill, this is paper waste. Your friend has been scammed by illegal taxi by my suspicion.
it is a fake bill, no company data
and it is way overpriced
We were scammed in a similar way in Budapest in 2005. We were 3 metro stations from our hotel, or a 15 minutes walk because distances are short on Andrassy avenue. But my wife’s feet were hurting and it was late, so we decided to catch a cab.
The driver asked us for about 3x the expected fare, and when we paid and exited the taxi, I realized he didn’t have the certified sticker on his window. Damn it.
Full story: ordered a taxi at the hotel reception. A taxi stopped while waiting in front of the lobby with bags. The taxi driver immediately put the bags in the back of the car. No conversation. Airport. Taxímeter was a phone app. Strange conversation during the trip. Realising this taxi was not the ordered one. Afraid of missing the flight. 238 pln bill.
I would call the police instead of paying 238 zloty
Shiiiiit, that’s a 30PLN Uber.
Chłopie, gdyby złotówa mi tyle powiedziała to jedyne co by mógł zerobić to szybkiego ciosa na pizde I znikam jak Hudinj. Pdw ps jak wyłaczyć tu tak chujowa autokorekte
I have to say the ‘bill number’ at the bottom of the receipt is also impressively huge.
Like this is the case where you just go out of the car and tell the guy you’re calling a police, airport security or whatever. He’ll be gone in a minute. The worst are the “real taxis” having “official” rates like 30pln/km occupying city centers and other places like bus, rail stations. They have a sticker with that rate somewhere on the car which makes them complying to the law. But hey, this rate is nothing that typical person would expect. It’s just a scam. Like you’d go to macdonald, order a cheeseburger and they’ll charge you 50zl. The price was on the menu, have you checked it in this particular place? It’s your fault
another 4 pln public transport trip avoided
This is how taxi drivers use foreigners to save for retirement

The fucking city is doing nothing about it. It’s taxi mafia, and they fucking do whatever they want, usually praying on tourists. They have been chased away from the airport, but still preying on tourists at centralna station.
So I’d taken a taxi from Poznan to Warsaw in 1986 for about $20, so 20 x 600 = 12,000 zl, but those were old zloty, so it was 12 zloty.
That reminds me of one time I took a taxi from the airport to the bus station for 40zł just to enter the bus that that stopped at the airport before leaving the city.
I don’t know what’s wrong , but almost everybody have uber, bolt or another shit on their phones… Probably, he isn’t
So that’s $57 dollars, am I right?
Why the fuck would you pay that.
NEVER TAKE TAXIS THAT ARE WAITING AROUND AN Airport. That applies to almost any place. Just call an uber.
Ale kurwa złodziej
never use taxis in poland even the ones that arent a scam outright are still very expensive compared to uber or bolt. a bolt “taxi” is 30-50% cheaper donno about uber havnt used it in a while
This is why I just ping an uber when i’m abroad and have no idea of the taxi situation.
These scams are run litterally everywhere. And sometimes even the legit taxi’s are questionable.
My father had situation like that. To give you full picture of the situation – he is krav maga instructor. So basically he knew that he was being scammed and as soon as he got to the destination he told a driver “so now you let me out and we forget about this or I can fuck you up”. So long story short the driver had to go back home on foot, because he wasn’t able to drive.
And that „bill number”… is just a unix timestamp. At least we know that he ended the trip on January 20 2023 at 15:34:31 GMT 😉
Future advice: when ordering taxi by hotel ALWAYS ask for taxi company name and NEVER take unnamed ones.
That’s why better is choose uber or other Big corpo company – before start your journey you know how much you pay – easy. If someone try to scame, you have tools (uber app) to quick correct your bills.
That’s why I always take an Uber. Even before confirming the ride, you know how much it will cost.
There is signed taxi stop and is operated by licensed companies. Not too clever friend. Also why the bill is in english, no NIP number, no name of the company? Just say FO to the driver and leave.
I once saved a foreign couple from this. I was dropping off a friend at Central Station and I overheard them talking in English about getting one of the cabs out back. I told them they’ll not only get a ride but also will get taken for a ride in the metaphoric sense. I told them where they can catch a legit taxi. I almost got mob rushed by those fucking crooked ass drivers as a response, but I just told them to fuck off. It’s not the fucking 90’s anymore
