schedules and security concerns. You may have to stand in queues for
security checks. Custom officers are generally very polite except
a few who can be rude at times.
Car Rentals and Taxis
Cabs and taxis are available for hire on arrival to the Delhi Airport.
Car rental option is available at the airport if you want to avoid
the hassles of taxis. Self driven cars are not advisable due to the
condition of traffic in the city. Major car rental service agencies
like Avis and Hertz operate from the airport. Parking facilities within
the annexes of both the terminals are sufficient to accommodate cars
and vehicles arriving at the airport.
If you prefer a taxi then it is better to go for the pre-paid taxi
service at the airport. This would ensure that you are charged with
genuine fare and taxi operators can't ask you for extra money.
