Cost of Prepaid Taxi

Hi!

What is the cost of a pre-paid taxi from Delhi International Airport to Paharganj at the moment? I have got an offer from Anoop hotel for 420 Rs...

Thanks!

Greetings, Mio

I think the hotel will charge you a round trip fare as they will say their driver had to do a round trip. From the prepaid stand in the airport it is at least half that.

when i was there last autumn, the pre-paid price was around 230rs with an additional 40rs or so at night (after 11pm i think).
The anoop are quoting you more as they will send a driver to personally meet you at the gate. therefore you are paying for his entry to the arrivals lounge and his time waiting.

The advantages are that it is very straightforward and there is no chance of being scammed (a fairly common experience for 1st time travellers.) On the basis of this, i would personally recommend the extra 150rs ($3)...could save you a lot of hassle.

Thanks kidsan!

I've been to India before, so I'll take my chances and go for a pre-paid taxi.

great, just watch out for the so-called 'pre-pay' scammers just outside arrivals. There is an official counter just as you leave the arrivals terminal on your right...good luck k

PRE-PAID on international airport is just outside the waiting lobby gate. As soon as you get out-look for YELLOE COLORED notice and this is where youwill find genuine PRE-PAID TAXI and you can get one.

DOMESTIC TERMINAL: They have 2 booking counters- the right one-near to EXIT gate is much costlier than otherone. I once paid 650 INR for Paharganj for a A/C car which never turn ON the A/C

it should not be more than 250-300 INR for non A/C car. Usually INDICA or MARUTI VAN.
