Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unofficial drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by only using official taxi ranks outside the arrivals area or pre-booking through the airport's official taxi service. Look for cream-colored taxis with the official Munich taxi sign.

Fake Airport Staff: Individuals wearing unofficial uniforms or badges may offer to 'help' with luggage or directions, then demand payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help and approaching official information desks (marked with 'i' signs) if you need assistance. Real airport staff will not demand cash payments for basic directions.

Currency Exchange Scams: Some exchange booths at airports offer poor rates with hidden fees or unfavorable conversion calculations. Avoid by using ATMs for better rates, paying with credit card when possible, or checking current rates before exchanging. If you must exchange at the airport, compare rates at multiple counters and ask about all fees upfront.
