Atlantic City Tourist Trap Tips by DJ_Rolo

I read some tips here before leaving for Atlantic City and they said that Taxi's can charge no more than $8.00, i guess those were old cuz when i went last month i believe it was raised to $12.00. So i got a cab in front of my hotel (Boardwalk Holiday Inn) and took it down to Trump. This driver was either the worst driver ive ever ridden with or he was doing it on purpose, driving slow, acting like he didnt know where he was going etc, just so the fare would get up to the max. I asked him to take me to a spot on the boardwalk, not to trump and im sure there was a possibilty he didnt know it, but i also gave him landmark points. One thing that really stood out though was, how slow he was driving. There was a little traffic on the main strip, but nothing to warrant driving like all the cars were out to get him. Anyways, the fare got up to $12.00 i even gave a nice tip, though i shouldnt have.

At Least Do This: Before you get into a cab, make sure you let them know exactly where you want to go. Hopefully you'll know where it is and how far you have to go. That might lower your fare a little bit.
Alternative: Even though Cabs are a little more expensive than buses id stil recommend taking a cab, its a lot quicker.
