Taxi Fare Estimator

Practical tips

Ola and Uber are both easy to use in Delhi and are what most visitors reach for, since flagging down an auto-rickshaw on the street usually means negotiating a price rather than getting the driver to run the meter. At Indira Gandhi International Airport, the government-run Bharat prepaid taxi counter in the Terminal 3 arrivals hall is a solid fallback — you pay a fixed, published rate at the counter and get a printed slip with the taxi's number before you even walk outside, while Uber and Ola pickups are actually located in the multi-level car park rather than right at the curb. Fares on the apps can swing sharply with demand and traffic, so it's worth comparing both before booking rather than assuming one is always cheaper. Tipping a taxi driver isn't mandatory, but rounding the fare up to the nearest ten rupees or so is the common, low-key way people show appreciation.
