If you take a taxi,try to find out beforehand what the fare will be.When you start your trip,check the taxi meter and make certain it starts at the base rate. When you arrive at your destination check the charge against the estimate you received earlier.Fares may be higher late night or during rush hour.Remember that in the United States taxi drivers are entitled to tips,generally about ten percent of the fare.
