<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>A late-night airport ride turned stressful for a Rapido user after a short 10-15 minute trip became a heated fare dispute. The booking showed one price, but the driver demanded much more at drop-off. What looked like a normal payment argument soon exposed a possible screenshot trick and repeated pressure from the driver. The rider shared every detail online, including the moment the real app screen revealed the truth.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The story is now getting attention as another example of suspected app-based cab fare manipulation and rider safety concerns.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>Rapido Cab Fare Scam Reported By Reddit User</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This issue comes from a Reddit user under the name bobs_best_burger, who shared his full experience in detail.&nbsp;</span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>He wrote that he booked a Rapido cab at 2 am from the airport, with the app clearly showing a fare of 295.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>But at the destination, &ldquo;the driver asked for 419.&rdquo; When questioned, the driver claimed his app showed a higher price and tried to prove it on his phone.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The rider noticed something felt off. The screen didn&rsquo;t look like the normal Rapido app layout.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>He kept insisting, &ldquo;close and reopen the Rapido app,&rdquo; but the driver avoided it and said closing would mark the ride as already paid. That made the situation more suspicious and tense.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>Rapido Overcharging Dispute Exposes Screenshot Trick</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>When the driver finally closed the screen, it revealed the image was not an app page but a screenshot from his gallery. The rider says the next window showed recent photos, including the same fake fare screen.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>He paid only the booked amount and stepped out, while the driver kept demanding to &ldquo;pay the full amount&rdquo; and became aggressive.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>When the real app screen was opened, it showed 295 and also stated that airport parking fees were already included. The rider filed a complaint, but it was marked resolved without a response.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>We have also contacted the Rapido team for an explanation on the same and asked what steps they take on such complaints. We haven&rsquo;t received a reply yet, so stay tuned for updates.</span></p>
