India Travel Tips: Taming Auto Rickshaw Drivers →
From PlanetEye Traveler:
Unlike Mumbai, New Delhi is known to have auto rickshaw drivers who’ll charge excessive fees. This is especially true if you are not a resident of Delhi or if you are a foreigner. The Delhi Government has rules and regulations that none of the auto drivers actually follow, well that is if you don’t make them! By law, auto drivers are supposed to go by the fare meter. The chargers are Rs. 10 for the first kilometer and then Rs. 3.50 for every extra kilometer.
The article touches upon:
- Researching your destination first
- Being able to communicate with knowledge
- Insisting on going by the fare meter
- Using a map
- Avoid being too friendly
