I've never been refused by a taxi at the airport. Generally, in CA, a taxi that refuses to drive a passenger from the airport is violating the terms of their airport medallion/license and will be removed from the lineup if the airport taxi office receives complaints.

- gamblor956 6y agoNo, it's the visible hand of regulation. The airports set the requirements that taxis receiving medallions to pick up passengers from their terminals may not reject passengers based on destination. The flipside is that trips originating from the airport are subject to fixed minimum charges (or fixed mileage rates) that taxis wouldn't get for pickups from other locations.
