Taxisjåfør anmeldt etter krav på 22.000 kroner

A foreign woman was charged 22,000 Norwegian krone for a taxi ride from Gardermoen to Oslo, according to Dagens Næringsliv. The incident occurred in July when she stood at the ordering kiosks at Gardermoen when a taxi driver approached her offering a ride. It is unclear which taxi company the driver belonged to. The case was reported to the police shortly after the journey.

However, it was dismissed on August 19 due to lack of investigative capacity. The woman and the company communicated later, with the company stating the driver made a mistake and the money should be refunded. Whether this actually happened remains unclear. Avinor's communications advisor Carita Storm Røsaasen was not familiar with the case when contacted by DN, but confirmed it after investigating.

Røsaasen stated that the situation described must have been a very uncomfortable experience for the passenger. Avinor introduced ordering kiosks and warnings against taxi cabs at the arrival hall after the maximum taxi fare was abolished in January, leading to a surge in taxi prices from Gardermoen.
