Taxi price from airport

Hi,
What is a good price to pay for a taxi from the airport to a hotel near new delhi station?
I've been quoted Rs1100 by the Prince Polonia hotel - is this ok?

of course NOT

If you use the prepaid-official booth just to the right as you exit the airport you will pay 230 rupees & if you book with a rendezvous around 450-500 rupees , so DO NOT PAY THIS PRICE THEY ASKED YOU

Ok great, thanks for your replies.
One more thing i forgot to mention was that there are 5 ppl travelling together...so would we need 2 cabs, or a large cab?

yes, you will need a SUV type vehicle OR 2 cabs...but still your hotel is charging too much for an SUV. you can hire two cabs on your own..

Using the pre-paid booth, I paid just Rs 215 for a taxi (a van) from Indira Gandhi Domestic to the Broadway Hotel, which is well beyond NDLS.
