How to avoid taxi scams at Indira Gandhi International
- ONLY use the Delhi Police Prepaid Taxi Booth inside T3 — pay in advance, get a receipt with driver number.
- Never take unmetered taxis from touts. They target arrivals passengers.
- Uber/Ola are safe alternatives — use apps, not street hail.
- Common scam: driver claims your hotel is "closed" or "unsafe" and takes you to a commission-paying alternative. Insist on your booking.
