 | Delhi Taxis Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
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 Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

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.

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomeWebsite: http://www.megacabs.com

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! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
