Taxi and Uber context
Delhi airport has prepaid taxi counters inside the terminal with fixed rates. Use only these counters — touts outside will overcharge significantly. The Delhi Airport Metro Express runs to New Delhi station in 20 minutes. This is why pre-booked transfers are popular — fixed prices, no surprises.
Local tip
Delhi's DEL has a well-organized prepaid taxi booth inside Terminal 3 arrivals — fixed rates of INR 500–800 (€5.50–9) to central Delhi. This is safer than negotiating with drivers outside, but pre-booked transfers at INR 900–1,500 (€10–17) still win for first-time visitors who want English-speaking drivers, inside-terminal meet, and no need to find the prepaid counter after a long flight.
How we rated each service
For Delhi we weighted meet-and-greet logistics at T3 (large and confusing), English communication with drivers, cleanliness and condition of vehicles (a real variable in India), and reliability on the Dwarka Expressway and NH8 routes during typical evening traffic.
Our verdict
Delhi is a pre-book recommendation for first-time India visitors and late-night arrivals. The prepaid taxi booth works fine if you know what you're doing, but the meet-and-greet from Welcome Pickups or Kiwitaxi eliminates the learning curve. For budget travelers on repeat visits, the Delhi Airport Express Metro at INR 60 is genuinely excellent — 19 minutes to New Delhi station.

Common questions about transfer services
GetTransfer bids for DEL → central Delhi commonly win at INR 800–1,200 (€9–13). Kiwitaxi fixed prices run INR 1,100–1,800 (€12–20). The cheapest options overall: Delhi Airport Express Metro at INR 60 (15 min to New Delhi) or the prepaid taxi booth at INR 500–800.
Delhi airport has prepaid taxi counters inside the terminal with fixed rates. Use only these counters — touts outside will overcharge significantly. The Delhi Airport Metro Express runs to New Delhi station in 20 minutes. Pre-booked transfers offer fixed pricing, meet-and-greet, and flight tracking — worth it for families, groups, and late arrivals.
Book 2–3 days ahead in Delhi during the October–March tourist high season. During Diwali week (late October/early November) and Holi (March), book 7+ days ahead — prices can double and driver availability tightens sharply.
Indian law recently introduced child seat requirements (2022) but enforcement is minimal and most local drivers don't carry seats. Welcome Pickups provides them free on explicit request (48h ahead). Kiwitaxi offers a paid add-on. Do not assume GetTransfer or intui.travel bidders will have a seat — confirm in writing.
DEL is integrated with all four platforms for live flight tracking. A Delhi-specific consideration: summer (April–June) brings occasional dust storms and monsoon (July–September) brings heavy rain delays — mention your flight when booking during these months.
