When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly host, hence we requested for the host to help us call for a taxi to the airport on our day of departure. The host agreed and didn't mention anything about extra charges. However, on the day of our departure, when we boarded the taxi we realized that the meter was already running at a cost of $17 euro not the starting cost of $3 plus euro. As we were in a hurry to get to the airport we didn't want to make a fuss about it. In retrospect, we realized that the host actually arrived in the flat on thi on this cab and charged to us and left the meter running while she came up to collect keys from us. We would appreciate if we have been informed.
