Safety Tips
Check the roof light first. Spot the official Greensboro city taxi license plate next. Both must be present. If one is missing, wave the cab away. Trust only these two signs.
Greensboro law forces every cab to run the meter. Make sure the meter is ticking. Flat-rate hustles are illegal here. If the driver stalls, step out. Call another cab.
Locals swear by Uber and Lyft. Download only these two apps. Match the license plate. Match the car color. Match the driver photo. Then climb in.
Traveling solo or after dark? Share your live trip status with a friend. Stay inside a lit doorway. Step to the Elm Street curb only when your ride appears. Stay visible.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers taking unnecessarily long routes through downtown or looping around the I-40/I-85 interchange to inflate the fare. Use GPS navigation on your phone and politely suggest the most direct route if you notice detours.
Some airport taxis add undisclosed surcharges for luggage or late-night service that aren't posted on the rate card. Ask for a fare estimate before leaving the airport and request to see the official rate sheet.
Meter tampering where the fare jumps faster than normal, on trips between downtown hotels and the Coliseum area. If the meter seems to advance unusually quickly, note the taxi number and report to Greensboro's Transportation Department.
