Most journeys should be uneventful but a few precautions do not go amiss.
There a few taxi scams from memory is you need to ensure (a) that the meter is switched on and if he says it's not working get out and (b) it says day during the day and not night (red light off) and the word "gündüz" (day) - midnight to 6am it should say "gece" (night) and (c) keep small notes - and if the taxi driver takes a note and asks if you have anything smaller get the note you have given back first before handing over more notes.
