Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unofficial taxi drivers at Prague Airport may approach you offering rides at inflated prices or refuse to use the meter. Avoid by using only official taxi stands with clear company markings, or pre-book through the airport's official taxi service or reputable ride-hailing apps. Always insist on meter usage or agree on a fare beforehand.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport currency exchange counters often offer very poor exchange rates with hidden fees, sometimes 20-30% below fair market rates. Avoid by withdrawing Czech Koruna from official ATMs at the airport (check for reasonable fees), or exchange only a small amount for immediate needs and use ATMs in the city center for better rates.

Fake 'Official' Transport Touts: People posing as official airport staff may direct you to overpriced shuttle services or unofficial taxis, claiming other options are unavailable or closed. Avoid by ignoring unsolicited offers, heading directly to official information desks or marked transport areas, and using the airport's official transport options like the Airport Express bus, public transport, or pre-booked transfers.
