Everything You Need to Know Before Booking a Cab from Indira Gandhi International Airport
Looking for a reliable Delhi airport cab service? Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) is India’s busiest airport, and it now runs three passenger terminals. If you’re landing in Delhi or heading to catch a flight, the most common mistake is going to the wrong terminal. The second is not knowing where your cab will actually pick you up.
This guide explains which terminal your airline uses, where pickups happen at T1, T2 and T3, and how long the drive takes to key parts of Delhi NCR. It also covers how to pre-book a chauffeur instead of relying on a regular Delhi airport taxi service.
Which Terminal Is Your Flight? T1, T2 and T3 Explained
Terminal 2 reopened in October 2025 after a full upgrade, and flights were redistributed across all three terminals.
| Terminal | Airlines and flights |
|---|---|
| Terminal 1 (T1) | Domestic only: IndiGo (its existing T1 flights), SpiceJet, Akasa Air and Air India Express domestic flights |
| Terminal 2 (T2) | Domestic only: IndiGo flights numbered 6E 2000–6E 2999, plus a share of Air India domestic flights |
| Terminal 3 (T3) | All international flights, IndiGo flights numbered 6E 5000–6E 5999, and remaining Air India domestic flights |
Tip: IndiGo now uses all three terminals, so check your flight number, not just the airline. Airlines can move flights between terminals, so always confirm the terminal on your boarding pass or the airline’s app the day before you travel.
When you book with us, share your flight number and we’ll plan your pickup at the right terminal.
Where Do Cabs Pick Up at Delhi Airport?
Pickup points at IGI are not always directly outside the arrivals doors. Here’s what to expect when you book a Delhi airport cab at each terminal.
| Terminal | Pickup arrangement |
|---|---|
| T3 | All private and commercial pickup vehicles go through the Multi-Level Car Park (MLCP) opposite arrivals. App-based cabs use a dedicated zone on the ground floor of the MLCP. |
| T1 | App-based cabs use a designated pickup zone in the parking area. You cross the pickup lanes from arrivals using marked crossings. |
| T2 | There is a signed “App Cabs” area a short walk from the arrivals exit. |
All three terminals also have prepaid taxi counters in the arrivals area.
With a Cabio Limo chauffeur, you skip the search. Our Delhi airport transfers include meet & greet, so your chauffeur meets you and takes you to the car. There’s no hunting for a pickup zone and no queue at the taxi counter.
Flight Delayed? Your Chauffeur Still Waits
Delayed flights are common, especially during Delhi’s winter fog season. Every Cabio Limo Delhi airport transfer includes:
- Flight tracking: we monitor your flight, so your pickup follows your actual arrival time
- 60 minutes of complimentary waiting for international arrivals, giving you time for immigration, baggage and customs
- 24/7 service for early-morning departures and late-night arrivals
How Long Does the Drive Take from Delhi Airport?
Travel time in Delhi depends heavily on traffic, so these are approximate road distances. Allow extra time during morning and evening peak hours.
| Destination | Approximate distance from IGI |
|---|---|
| Aerocity hotels | About 3 km |
| Gurugram Cyber City | About 10–14 km |
| Connaught Place | About 16–20 km |
| Noida Sector 18 | About 35–40 km |
Terminal 1 is a separate building from T3. If you’re catching a connection between terminals, allow plenty of time for the road transfer.
We cover all of Delhi NCR, including Connaught Place, Aerocity, Dwarka, Vasant Kunj, Saket, Hauz Khas, Greater Kailash, South Extension, Karol Bagh, Gurugram, Noida and Faridabad.
Delhi Airport Taxi Fares: What Affects the Price
Your fare depends on a few clear factors:
- Vehicle type: an economy sedan costs less than an SUV or a first-class luxury car
- Distance: a drop to Aerocity costs less than a drive to Noida or Faridabad
- Time of travel: a regular Delhi airport taxi or app cab often costs more during peak hours and late at night
Cabio Limo fares are fixed, with no peak-time pricing. You agree on the price before your trip, and it doesn’t change because of traffic or the time of day. Send your flight details on WhatsApp and you’ll get a confirmed, fixed-price quote within 10–15 minutes, with no commitment required.

Prepaid Taxi at Delhi Airport vs App Cab vs Private Chauffeur
| Feature | App cab | Prepaid taxi | Cabio Limo chauffeur |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking | After you land | At the arrivals counter | In advance |
| Price | Can surge at peak times | Fixed at the counter | Fixed, no peak-time pricing |
| Pickup | Walk to the app zone | Taxi rank | Meet & greet |
| Flight delays | You rebook | You queue | Flight tracking, 60 min free waiting (international) |
| Vehicle choice | Depends on availability | Limited | From economy to BMW 7 Series |
If you’re arriving late at night, travelling with family and luggage, or hosting clients, a pre-booked chauffeur takes the uncertainty out of your arrival.
