Best way to navigate Delhi? My experience with local taxi services

  • February 18, 2026 9:23 PM PST

    Hi fellow travelers, I’ve seen a lot of questions lately about the best way to get around the Capital. Having lived here for years (and dealt with many airport runs), I wanted to share a few tips for anyone looking for a reliable Taxi Service in Delhi.

    • Pre-paid vs. App-based: While apps are great, for late-night arrivals at IGI Airport, I still recommend a dedicated Taxi Service in Delhi that offers fixed-rate bookings to avoid "surge pricing."

    • Safety Tip: Always ensure the driver starts the GPS and shares the ride link.

    • Outstation trips: If you're planning a trip to Agra or Jaipur, booking a full-day cab is often cheaper than one-way drops.

    I’ve personally had good luck with India Tour Taxi because they provide sanitized cars and professional drivers. Does anyone else have a preferred local operator they trust?
