Taxi Rates

Walked to Playa Linda this morning with my taxi driver friend. Had enough walking and grabbed a taxi that was waiting outside the Qualton back to La Ropa. Didn’t ask about price when I got in and was charged $450. I have a picture of a rate sheet that looks official and it does say $450 from the hotel. I know a hotel taxi will always get more but is this really correct?

There is no way that is an "officially authorized" rate. Taxis based at hotels are allowed to jack up their prices and I do NOT recommend using them for that reason. Taxis called by phone charge 5 pesos extra. Taxis hailed in the street must abide by the authorized rates, and you should report those that don't respect them.
