The airport facts that matter for pickups
- Terminals: 3 — tell your driver the airline and they will know the terminal; guessing costs 20 minutes

Taxi, train or pre-booked transfer at DEL?
The train wins when it exists and your bags are manageable — airport express (orange line) metro from t3. The taxi rank wins for door-to-door simplicity, with meter risk at peak hours. The fixed-price pre-booked transfer wins when arrival timing matters: the driver tracks the flight, waits through delays, and the price never surges. After a night long-haul, that certainty is the product.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my driver at Indira Gandhi International Airport?
Pre-booked transfers include meet-and-greet: the driver waits in arrivals with a nameboard, flight-tracked. The provider app or confirmation message shows the exact meeting point per terminal.
What if my flight to DEL is delayed?
The transfer provider tracks the flight number and adjusts pickup automatically — that is the core of what you pay for versus a rank taxi. Confirm the included waiting window on the booking page.
Are taxis cheaper than a pre-booked transfer from DEL?
For short rides with no traffic, sometimes. At peak hours, for families, and for night arrivals the fixed price usually matches or beats the meter — and removes the surge risk entirely. Get the quote and compare; it takes a minute.
