IHateTaxis.com does not recommend the pirate Johannesburg O R Tambo Airport taxi service.

Pirate taxis may not have licensed drivers and may take you to an undisclosed location for robbery and possibly more. Pirate taxis are those where there is no meter and discrepancies can occur between your initial quoted price and the price upon arrival. Personal safety concerns can exist in unofficial taxis, notably robberies and other more serious crimes. Make sure the taxi you using has the ACSA logo imprinted on it.
