I employed this exact strategy on our last trip. From El Cantil to basically everywhere we went, the fare is $100 pesos. Maybe it's actually $80, don't know. $100 is close enough. Every ride I would hand the driver a $100 peso bill and say gracias and never had any issue except for one driver who said it was $150, to which I politely replied, "no, es cien". He immediately accepted my $100 peso bill and we parted ways.Blaming the victims?
If I am responsible for abusive taxi drivers, all I can do is apologize; I am not getting into an argument over a pittance when I am on vacation. FWIW, I pay for taxis in pesos, I don’t tip taxi drivers, and when I don’t know the driver but I know what the fare should be, which is most of the time, I just hand it over and get out.
