All offical taxis have red/white licence plates, and tourist agency owned cars have a blue/white licence plate.

 

Tip: returning to the airport, be sure to tell your taxi driver which terminal your flight is leaving from, so that you don't end up at the wrong terminal (the 'old' terminal, which serves domestic flights, is at 200 metres down the road from the new terminal.

Genuine taxis have red license plates, carry a laminated green slip and a large-print taxi driver identification card on the dashboard of the car.
