Quick Guide to Auto Rickshaws in Delhi

Want to travel by auto rickshaw in Delhi? This quick guide to auto rickshaws in Delhi will help make it easier for you (and ensure you don't get ripped off)!

• Delhi has plenty of auto rickshaws but it's extremely difficult to get any of them to put their meters on. The drivers will quote you a fare for your journey, so it's important to have an idea of the correct fares before you travel to avoid getting ripped off (which you certainly will otherwise!).

• The rate is 10 rupees for the first kilometer and 4.50 rupees for each additional kilometer. You'll be charged 25% extra at night from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

• A useful auto rickshaw fare calculator is available on the Delhi Government website.

• As an estimate, you really shouldn't pay much more than 100 rupees to travel anywhere in Delhi. New Delhi Railway Station (Paharganj) to Nizamuddin Railway Station or Khan Market is around 50 rupees, New Delhi Railway Station to Connaught Place is 20 rupees, Connaught Place to Karol Bagh is 20 rupees, and Connaught Place to Old Delhi and the Red Fort is 50 rupees.
