AC car on arrival in New Delhi station?

We don't want to book something in advance to keep options open and also because the train might be late. I know there is a prepaid cab desk, but are there private agency counters at the station the way there are at the airport? We'd like to get an AC car.

I know I could cross to Paharganj and look for a travel agency or hotel that could call a car, but I was hoping to get a car more quickly.

I could call Megacab or Easycab from a PCO...do they turn up quickly or would we be waiting 45 minutes for them?

Many thanks,

I have gotten an A/C car from the taxi stand at the station. I have never arranged a long journey from the station tho, and some of the "a/c cabs" would be sketchy for long hauls.

Yes, we got a/c cabs just outside NDLS on two occasions, both for transport to central Delhi hotels.

At the airpot they turned up in 10-15 minutes..

shud not be much longer at the station, but that place is much more crowded..

but its still beter to wait for a few minutes then to go to the market and look for a cab..

and actualy radio cabs work out pretty cheaper than the prepaid cabs..
