00:00Millions of Brits head to Spain every year for sun, culture, and the perfect holiday.
00:04But there's a warning many travelers still don't know.
00:07Because one simple mistake could cost you up to 600 euros.
00:11The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a reminder.
00:15And it's catching a lot of holidaymakers off guard.
00:18Across Spain, taxi rules vary from city to city.
00:21And anyone caught using an unlicensed taxi can be hit with a massive fine.
00:25Yes, even tourists.
00:27Official taxis are always registered.
00:30They have a visible meter.
00:32And you can book them through licensed companies only.
00:35But unlicensed drivers often wait around airports and busy tourist spots.
00:39And many travelers hop in without realizing the risk.
00:42Not only is it illegal, it can also be dangerous.
00:46No tracking.
00:46And no guarantee of safety.
00:48So before you grab that ride to your hotel,
00:51make sure it's an official taxi or a trusted transfer service.
00:54Because saving a few euros could end up costing you hundreds.
00:57Stay safe.
00:59Stay informed.
01:00And enjoy your Spanish getaway without the unwanted surprises.
