Common Scams to Avoid
At Honiara International Airport, some taxi drivers quote a flat "airport rate" that is several times the normal metered fare. Insist on using the meter or agree on a price before leaving the terminal area.
Unofficial porters may grab bags inside the arrivals hall and then demand a high fee for the short walk to the car park. Politely decline assistance unless you need it and confirm any charge in advance.
Currency-exchange booths just outside the restricted area advertise "no commission" but give a markedly poorer rate than downtown banks. Change only what you need for the ride and use a bank or ATM in town for the rest.
