⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore touts in the arrivals hall offering taxis; use only the official Delhi Traffic Police prepaid counter or a licensed app.
  • Do not board a taxi where the driver starts the meter only after leaving the airport; insist on a prepaid voucher or an app-fixed fare.
  • Keep your prepaid taxi receipt until you reach your Aerocity hotel; it contains the taxi number and helps if you need to complain.
  • Be cautious of informal currency exchange or card payment offers near arrivals; pay in INR or through the official app.
