Cebu is generally safe and foreigner-friendly, but petty crime and taxi overcharging are the main concerns for visitors. Petty theft, unlicensed drivers, and inflated prices are the things to watch most. Stay alert in crowded markets and around transport hubs, and always use official or app-based taxis.

Uobičajene prevare u Cebu, Philippines i kako ih izbjeći

TaksiOutside Mactan-Cebu airport arrivals

1. Unlicensed airport drivers

Kako funkcioniše: Drivers without official credentials approach arrivals outside the terminal and quote inflated flat rates, sometimes 3 times the metered fare, then may refuse to use the meter.

Kako to izbjeći: Walk to the official taxi rank or book through the Grab app. Insist on the meter before the ride starts.

2. Meter not running

Kako funkcioniše: Some taxi drivers claim the meter is broken or insist on a flat rate for trips to tourist areas, charging well above the metered price.

Kako to izbjeći: Refuse rides without a working meter. If the driver will not start it, take the next taxi.

3. Poor-rate exchange booths

Kako funkcioniše: Exchange counters in tourist-heavy malls and near major hotels advertise eye-catching rates but apply wide spreads or hidden fees, giving you far less than the bank rate.

Kako to izbjeći: Use banks or reputable licensed exchange counters and compare rates before converting large amounts.

4. Snatch-and-grab theft

Kako funkcioniše: Thieves on motorcycles grab phones or bags from pedestrians, especially along busy streets and near transport stops, then disappear into traffic.

Kako to izbjeći: Keep phones and bags secured and out of sight when standing near roads. Avoid walking with your phone in your hand.

5. Overpriced tricycle rides

Kako funkcioniše: Tricycle and habal-habal drivers quote high flat fares to visitors who do not know local rates, especially for short hops between landmarks.

Kako to izbjeći: Ask the price before boarding and compare with the approximate 30 to 50 peso rate for short rides. Negotiate firmly or walk.

Područja gdje je potreban dodatni oprez

  • Colon Street and Carbon Market area: Crowded and busy with pickpocketing and snatch theft reported, especially during peak hours. Keep bags closed and valuables out of sight.
