What is the prepaid taxi rate from Kolkata International airport to howrah?

Question

I am arriving at dumdum on 12th July at 0045 am... What time should i take a prepaid taxi. I am a girl and want to be safe but i must reach howrah station as early as possible. How much is the charge?

Answer 1

There is an Avis counter as you exit just besides the pre-paid counter.They charge INR500/- but it is much safer than the yellow ones.

Answer 2

I think, if you can bargain, Rs. 300 is OK (not only considering the diesel cost and fare but also the odd hour factor).
