Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed 'taxi pirata' drivers are a well-documented concern at Honduran airports, at Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. These drivers approach arriving passengers aggressively, often quoting fares that are several times higher than official rates, and in some documented cases have been linked to robbery. Always use the official licensed taxi desk inside the arrivals hall, or arrange airport pickup through your accommodation in advance.
Airport currency exchange counters at Honduran international airports typically offer significantly worse rates than banks or ATMs in the city , a pattern documented consistently by travelers and advisors covering Honduras. Exchanging only a small amount at the airport for immediate needs (transport, tips) and using a bank ATM for larger amounts once in the city is the standard guidance.
Unofficial 'porters' or 'helpers' who are not airport employees sometimes approach travelers at baggage claim or the exit, offer unsolicited help with luggage, and then demand cash payment. While this tactic is common across Central American airports rather than unique to Honduras, it is documented at the main Honduran airports. Politely declining immediately and proceeding directly to the official exit is the recommended response.
