["So, I was in Barcelona a month or so ago and had an early flight to Rome. I was catching a bus at 4am and this car comes out of nowhere and offered me and the other 3 people there a ride to the airport for 12 euro. It didn't even look like a cab. Sketchy.", "Yikes! That would be really scary!! I hope you didn't get in the car!", 'We did. This British chick convinced me it was worth the risk. The Chinese tourist couple just went along with it. I refused to put my backpack in the trunk and rode up front with it in case I needed to tuck and roll hah. Had my phone out with the GPS to make sure he was actually going to the airport. It all ended up being fine...aside from the speeding.']
Thank goodness it all worked out! It sounds like you took a bunch of smart precautions!
I was in Barcelona and was catching a bus to the airport at 4am. There were 3 other people waiting. A car came out of nowhere and the guy said he would take all 4 of us to the airport for 12 euro. It didn't even look like a cab. I felt sketchy about it.
