Auto-rickshaws are widely available but insist on using the meter or agree on the fare before starting your journey

Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unauthorized drivers approach passengers inside the terminal or just outside, offering rides at seemingly good rates but often charging inflated prices or taking longer routes. Avoid by using only prepaid taxi counters inside the airport terminal or booking through official ride-hailing apps before exiting.

Fake Prepaid Taxi Counters: Scammers set up unofficial counters that look similar to legitimate prepaid taxi services, issuing fake receipts and connecting you with unlicensed drivers. Avoid by locating the official prepaid taxi counter (typically clearly marked near arrivals) or using the airport's official taxi booking app/service.

Meter Tampering or 'Broken' Meters: Drivers claim their meter is broken and quote excessive flat rates, or use tampered meters that run faster than normal. Avoid by insisting on meter use for regular taxis, using prepaid taxi services where price is fixed upfront, or booking through ride-hailing apps that show fare estimates before the trip.
