This is good to know for London specifically.
It's not as satisfying as yours but my general technique that works everywhere in the world where cabs are competing is: ask them if they take credit cards and their reader is working before you get into the cab. If they say no you find another cab. (In my experience they never say no anyway. But I learned to do this every single time I use a cab anywhere because this scam is so unbelievably common everywhere in the world.)
- iso1631 6y agoMy general technique is to use Uber, or pre-book a cab from the office. I have to admit I was stuck last time I was in Beijing, and of course nobody* takes cash in Beijing.
- maccard 6y agoYep indeed, I've asked before I got in. In this case I was getting a cab from the airport after a long haul flight. I'd normally use Uber but to try and speed things up I took a black cab because they're allowed use bus lanes and it was 9am.
