Taxis: Taxi
  • Tip Rating:
  • Taxi is what you should take for long distances, for example to go to the airport or to the other side of Delhi. They are more expensive than rickshaws, but they are not very expensive, they will wait for you and bring you back if you need it for very little. As other transports you have to speak about the price before taking it.
    At the airport you take prepaid taxies at a window you will find at the outside
    Airport - Hotel Relax (near Connaught place) 250 R.
    Taxi cross Delhi and back waiting for us nearly one hour .200 R
    Taxi Agra - Delhi 2.900 R
    Taxi Delhi - Agra is more expensive cause they have to pay taxes or something like that

    Taxis: Taxi from the airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • The easiest and the safer way to get to the city from the airport is to go outside and go stra8 to the small office for the prepaid taxi. You simply go there, tell to the man where you do want to go and you pay immediately. Then he will give you the receipt with the numebr of the taxi and he will drive you to the final destination.

    It is very simple and moreover you will not fall in trouble with huge ammounts to pay to the taxi driver.. ):-

    In Delhi there are all sorts of transportation available, except the metro - which is being under construction. Choices are varied: buses, auto-rickshaws and bycycle-rickshaws (especially in Old Delhi). However I learned my lesson well in Thailand, after a tuk-tuk crash, and - having no time to figure out the bus system and routes - I opted for a taxi: comfortable, quite... and safe from the city's pollution. They are very cheap too: about 500 rupees (10 euros) for four hours

  • The best option for travellers who disembark at the international/domestic airports and need a taxi would be to head straight for the booth operated by the Delhi police.
    The booth is on your way out of the building- in the case of both the international and the domestic terminals. You are charged a fixed rate as per where you are headed, take your name down, and assign a specific taxi to you. This way, you will not be taken for a ride and its safer as the cops also have a record of which taxi was taken by who etc.

    Taxis: The only way to get around is...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The only way to get around is by driving. You can hire a car and driver very cheaply if you need them for the full day, or just hail a taxi.

    Taxis: Taxi Service
    As this was my first trip to India and I was traveling alone, I decided to use the taxi service of Mr. Mahavir Yadav, a gentleman (in the truest sense of the word) who I met through the Virtual Tourist site. He collected me at the airport and drove me to the hotel. Then for the next two and a half days drove me around the city, suggesting wonderful places to see, in addition to the ones I had already planned to visit. A train journey of 1 week through Rajasthan was part of my trip and Mr. Yadav dropped me at the station in Delhi and returned to collect me one week later, he then drove me up into the Himalaya stopping at Corbett National Park en route. My trip to India would have been so much harder had I not had a driver (I could not afford the luxury prices of some of the tour operators) and found Mr. Yadav's fees very affordable, and his knowledge of the areas I traveled to with him helped in finding hotels to suite my budget. His car is well maintained and always immaculately clean. His professionalism and interest in the well-being of his clients is outstanding. He can be contacted by e-mail at mahavir_yad@hotmail.com and for an overview of places he drives to go to www.rajasthan-by-car.com. I will be pleased to answer any questions regarding his services.

    Taxis: Radio Taxis
    One of the most convenient ways to travel in Delhi is a relatively new `radio taxi' service.
    While this is a concept that is very common in developed economies, this is a relatively new service here. These are air-conditioned cabs- metered cabs.
    Dial 1929 (no prefix) from within Delhi or +91-11-29232425 from elsewhere. A radio taxi will reach you soon, and you are charged by the Kilometre.
    The rate is a flat Rs 15/ km, and your billing starts once you set off from your location. You are not charged for the distance the cab covered to reach you.
    The cab drivers have had a background check, and go thru specific training.
    A night surcharge of 25% is applicable between 11pm and 5am.
    They also have packages with fixed rates for airport drops/ pick ups.
    Alternately, you can engage a cab on a distance-hourly usage package. For example, renting for a 10 hour or 100kms slab, would cost you a little over Rs 1,500 or approx $35.
    You can also rent vehicles to travel to cities outside Delhi.

    Taxis: Taxi
    I only took taxi's to/from the airport. There are pre-paid booths inside both the domestic and international terminals. From the domestic terminal to Connaught place, they cost Rs170 and from the international terminal to Pahar Ganj, they cost Rs250. I didn't bother taking them around Delhi itself as auto rickshaws are cheaper, quicker and more fun/life threatening!

    Taxis: Taxi's
    Taxis are metered but even knowing this you need to make sure that the meter is working and has been reset before you take off. You will mostly encounter an extra fee for baggage and also if you are taking a taxi between 11.00pm and 5.00am. If taking a taxi from the airport, you are better advised to take a prepaid one. These can be booked from outside of the arrivals area.

    Jeep styled taxi's are also available.
