Taxi drivers are by far the worst in this regard, other people are far more honest.
For convenience and due to the language barrier, simply getting a taxi at one of the counters in the airport is advised. They are professional, clean, and convenient, if not a bit expensive. There are also buses that are very, very cheap and just fine for about 1.600 CLP last time I took one (6 months ago).
In 15 years of travel to Chile, the only bad taxis I've ever had have been in the past few years in the Bellavista barrio at night. I either won't get in them when they try and give me a fixed ripoff price, or call them out when they have a phony meter or don't turn the meter on altogether. Of course, I know where I'm going and what the approximate fare should be, so a couple of times they've told me not to pay (for fear of me notifying the police).
