Admittedly, we've always put the suitcase in the boot when getting a taxi from the airport and never had a problem. But then again, apart from that one time, we've always used a "proper" taxi at the taxi rank as we know not to accept a taxi in the way we did. Dumb move at the time brought on by just wanting to get home. No excuse though!
As has been said though, very very good advice![]()
