⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official Delhi Traffic Police prepaid taxi counter inside Arrivals or a verified app ride. Ignore touts offering taxis in the terminal hall; they often overcharge or use tampered meters.
  • Keep your prepaid taxi receipt until you reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station. Do not pay extra unless the driver agrees in writing; the fixed fare already covers the zone.
  • At app-cab pickup zones, verify the driver and car number before boarding. A flat airport pickup charge of about ₹290 is added to every app-cab ride, so the final fare includes that surcharge.
  • Pay in INR or use UPI/card where possible. Avoid dynamic currency conversion offered by the driver; insist on the displayed fare or prepaid receipt total.
