Prepaid taxis

George Frowney · Oct 21st, 2004, 00:08

Am heading into Delhi airport via the usual late night flight on 2 November. Are the prepaid taxis as bad as they are reputed to be? Am heading to Defence Colony, and I do believe my guesthouse may be able to offer a transfer. But more than once I have found that my transfers get lost and do not locate me at the airport.

You sound like you know what your doing, so the Taxi thing isn't a problem!! Get your prepaid voucher and keep until arrival any shennigans from the driver just be polite and firm!! You tell him whats happening not the other way around but really it's not that bad!!

Hi George,

I don't know who tolds you the prepaid taxis are so bad. I've never got any problem with them. They are cheap compared with other pickups and of course do not give the voucher until the end of the traject and do not discuss about the place you are going. Some times is better to get a hotel transfer but normally in Delhi quickest way is by prepaid taxi.
