BOM International arrivals question

Hello,

Just would like to get a sense of what to expect...

I will arrive late night at BOM and go directly to Pune with a pre-arranged taxi service recommended by a Pune resident. They only asked for my flight info.

I will NOT have a cell phone. How do I find this taxi? Do they separate these from the regular prepaid taxis at airport?

In case I'm stranded, do regular prepaid taxis go to Pune? If necessary, can I get this outside terminal? General fare to Pune?

The person (driver) will have your name and flight name/no: he'll be waiting along with rest of the people coming to receive their relatives/friends etc. very similar to how car service pickup happens in US airports (by the baggage carousel for domestic) and (outside customs exit for international) they guys/gals with your name and Co:

Once you come out - It will be like a walk in a square looking for your name: Once you spot it, you will be OK. You can also get his telephone number and ask a prepaid guy to make a call for you (do ask politely)

There are prepaid taxis - Dunno how much for Pune.

nycank,
Thank you.

When you say ..."ask a prepaid guy to make a call for you"... do you mean ask a guy at the prepaid desk where tickets are purchased?

No ! use his cellphone to call your pre-booked driver's cellphone. I am sure whom ever your folks in Pune booked for you has a cellphone number, and you have that number before you leave the US.
