"always" is a strong word
[QUOTE=Jaosousa;1160220]I have been with chicas in Santo Domingo and when it was time for them to go home, they would walk and talk to various taxi drivers, until they found a taxi driver willing to drive them for the price the chica wanted. Just about always gringos will be given a higher price by taxi drivers.[/QUOTE]It really depends on the gringo. The easiest way to avoid a ripoff is to call a taxi. Somebody should list the phone numbers of Lino, Apollo, Aero, etc. You can even call more than one to compare but that's not usually necessary. A good rule of thumb is anything within the city limits. Especially if you aren't going to cross the river. Should be no more than 200 pesos. That price may shock some because it is not unusual for taxistas to ask for 1, 000 pesos off the street for a 150 peso fare. The taxi you call will show up within no more than 5 minutes because the dispatcher puts out a radio call and the closest waiting taxi will respond. You should ask the dispatcher for the 'tarifa' so you know what to pay in advance. Also, don't be shy about getting somebody you can trust to make the call for you. Watch out for the taxista making a deal with the caller to hike up your fare and split the difference.
Have fun!
