  1. Hi, best bet is to have a friend pick you up, or get your hotel to pick you up. Otherwise stop at the prepaid taxi counter before you exit the terminal and pay for a cab to take you where you want to go. These are reliable. WHen dropped off, i would recommend tipping the driver a little.

    As with any place, be wary of strangers who come up to you and offer you anything. Best is to stay away from them, ignore them, and if they get aggressive, make a noise or flag down a cop.

    Keep ur luggage always in view, and unless you really need it, dont hire a porter to carry your things. if someone tries to distract you and turn you away from your luggage for whatever reason, ignore them.

    Basically, just use your common sense, and you'll be fine. Enjoy your stay in Incredible India


  2. Buy prepaid tickets for taxis at the airport to avoid being ripped off.
