I never cease to be amazed at the majority of people I travel with
abroad just jump into taxis

And that can be a seriously bad idea in some cities. Jumping into the
nearest taxi at Prague airport (which has no rail connections) is a
recipe for a rip-off, if not a mugging - pre-booking with a reputable
company or through the information desk at the airport really is
essential for safety.
