The other night our bus stopped in Playa Pariso and cos we were tired wanted to get a taxi to the next villiage on the front, Callao Salvaje, where we live.

We got in the taxi and explained where we wanted to go.

Now for anyone that knows there is a shortcut from Pariso to Callao which cuts out about 2 or 3 miles. Especially where we live its just where the short cut comes out in Callao. As the taxi man tried to whizz past the shortcut we said no here, turn left the shortcut, after 5 mins of him trying to epxlain he could not go that way we said we would get out and not pay as he had not taken us to our destination. My wife was out the taxi and I was about to get out.

ok ok ok the taxi man said I will take you.........there was our mistake as soon as we got in he closed the doors and took us straight back to where we had got in in the first place. He then proceeded to run along the taxi rank to tell all his 'mates' not to take us.

We then walked home.

The moral, never trust a tenerife taxi driver, EVER.

Do taxi drivers have the compaint book that every other business has to produce by law??????

Yes. You can complain about a taxi driver. Take his number (or the registration of his vehicle) and denounce him. If he get's denounced three times he will lose his badge... and that, my friend, is worth more to him than anything, as it will probably be virtually impossible to get back! There's a waiting list a mile long to get the taxi badge

Make sure you let him know you're going to denounce him, as it'll put the fear of god into him and maybe he'll think twice about trying to rip people off in future.
