Flights and accommodations take up much of our vacation budget. But sometimes prices can skyrocket if we don't pay attention to certain details. After all, it's no secret that tourists are often exploited financially and have to pay extra high rates due to their lack of knowledge, especially in a foreign and unfamiliar country.
We all know the tendency of some taxi drivers to bump prices for tourists, who do not know they have even been stung. In most cases, this happens after a long flight, on our way to the hotel, and count on the taxi driver to take us the fastest and most efficient way.
Lexi Alford, who holds a world record as the youngest woman to travel in all countries of the world, finds out how you can save up to hundreds of dollars with a simple email that they send to the hotel before taking off abroad.

The Mirror notes that 21-year-old Lexie, who has been documenting her travels on social networks and YouTube, says that "taxi drivers can be relentless and work on you completely.

Sending letters of this type has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years as I have avoided overpayments for taxi drivers who have jumped prices. "
Lexi explains, "If you arrive at the hotel and the supervisor is pointing at an unreasonably high rate, refuse to pay. Just come into your hotel and ask for assistance." She said if that didn't help either, they told the driver that you were going to call the police. At this point, the driver will just give up. "
Many hotels offer direct shuttle service from the airport as part of the package, which can be checked in advance and compared to other means of transport. "Just ask them about the cheapest means of transport they come to."
