Negotiate the price before traveling, there are some set price but you can still negotiate.
Do not put yourself in bad situation over a few dollars. Forget the principle of it,
or that you fell you have been overcharged.It's safer to use a taxi rather than hire,
If you must hire a car or motorcycle check for any damage before you leave, take pictures.
