Negotiate taxi fares before starting your journey as most taxis don't use meters

Keep small denomination Guinean francs for taxi payments as drivers often lack change

Shared taxis (taxi-brousse) follow fixed routes but only depart when full, so allow extra time

Avoid traveling after dark when possible as street lighting is limited throughout the city

Unofficial 'Helpers' and Porters: Individuals may approach offering to help with luggage or directions, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, using official airport porter services if needed, and agreeing on any fees before accepting assistance.

Unlicensed Taxi Overcharging: Unofficial taxi drivers at arrivals may quote inflated fares or claim meters are broken. Avoid by using official taxi ranks, agreeing on the fare before departure, or using pre-arranged airport transfer services through your accommodation.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers may offer attractive rates but use sleight of hand, provide counterfeit bills, or shortchange customers. Avoid by only using official airport exchange counters or ATMs, and count all money carefully before leaving the counter.
