IGI Airport (DEL)
T3 international and T1 domestic are 7 km apart — confirm terminal before booking. Prepaid lanes at T3 often queue 20–40 min in peak; app pickup at Lane 4–6 is faster when you share live location.

How Delhi actually moves — corridor notes from our local team
Delhi is not one city — it is IGI airside rules, six major railway terminals, and NCR spillover into Gurgaon and Noida. These are the patterns our drivers and riders hit every week.
New Delhi ↔ Old Delhi
Rajdhani arrivals at NDLS need a clear pickup gate (Ajmeri Gate vs Paharganj side). Old Delhi (DLI) Chandni Chowk exits flood with e-rickshaws — set your pin on the main road, not inside the gali.
Ring Road & DND
Outer Ring Road between Vikas Marg and Ashram is slow 5–9 PM. DND Flyway to Noida clears after 11 AM; return jams start at 6 PM near Mayur Vihar.
Metro last-mile
Yellow Line (Kashmere Gate–HUDA City) and Blue Line (Dwarka–Noida) feed huge last-mile demand. Book from station forecourt, not platform — drivers cannot enter paid area.
Winter smog (Nov–Jan) adds 15–25 min on NH-48 Gurgaon runs — buffer time for airport transfers.

Rides built for NCR — airport, rail & metro
Delhi is not one pickup pattern. These are the four booking types our Delhi desk handles every day — each with different pin rules and timing.
IGI Airport (DEL) terminal pickups
T3 international and T1/T2 domestic are kilometres apart — share your terminal and live location. Our partners use Lane 4–6 forecourt pickups; avoid prepaid queues when the app fare is already confirmed.
Railway station gate pickups
New Delhi (NDLS), Old Delhi (DLI), Hazrat Nizamuddin, Anand Vihar — each has a different pickup side. Tell the driver your platform exit; pin the main road, not inside the station complex.
Metro last-mile hops
Yellow Line (Kashmere Gate–HUDA City), Blue Line (Dwarka–Noida), Violet Line — book from the station forecourt after exiting the paid area. Ideal for CP, Rajiv Chowk, and Saket connections.
NCR corridor & late-night
Ring Road, DND Flyway, NH-48 Gurgaon runs — upfront fare before you leave. Live GPS sharing for family on late airport arrivals and post-metro hops in winter smog season.
Signature Delhi runs
Where NCR riders actually book — not generic “landmarks”
Our Delhi partners learn these six corridors in driver training — terminal gates, station sides, and ring-road pickup rules included.
IGI Airport (DEL)Terminal-first booking — never assume T3 when your flight lands at T1.
New Delhi Railway StationAjmeri Gate vs Paharganj side — specify in app notes.
Connaught PlaceInner Circle drops are walk-only; pin Outer Circle or Janpath.
DwarkaBlue Line last-mile + airport corridor — allow extra time 5–8 PM.
AkshardhamEvening fountain show exits — book pickup on NH-24 service road.
Hauz KhasEvening dining surge; book return before 11 PM for easier pickup.

Three NCR realities generic apps ignore
Terminal confusion costs 40 minutes
Drivers sent to T3 while you exit T1 domestic — always confirm terminal in chat. Our Delhi playbook trains partners on IGI lane numbers.
Station side beats station name
“New Delhi station” is not enough — Ajmeri Gate, Paharganj, or metro interchange changes where the cab can legally wait.
Winter smog & Ring Road math
Nov–Jan airport runs need +15–25 min buffer. Outer Ring Ashram–Vikas Marg is often faster than inner city shortcuts after 5 PM.
Why Delhi riders stay on 19Cabs
Built for NCR friction — not copy-paste “cab app” bullets
Upfront fare before Ring Road

Share your trip on late Nizamuddin or Gurgaon returns — especially when smog or fog slows the Outer Ring.
Bike · auto · car in one app
Metro last-mile from Rajiv Chowk on bike; airport leg on cab — switch vehicle without reinstalling another app.

Delhi desk FAQ
Delhi NCR — questions before you book IGI or NDLS
Airport terminals, railway gates, and Metro exits — answers from our Delhi desk, not a generic FAQ template.
IGI Airport Delhi — T1 or T3 for cab pickup?
T3 (international & major domestic) and T1/T2 are 7 km apart. Always confirm your terminal in the app. For T3 arrivals, use the app pickup lane (Lane 4–6 area) and share live location — prepaid counters add 20–40 min in peak.
New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS) — which side for pickup?
Specify Ajmeri Gate vs Paharganj side in your booking notes. Rajdhani arrivals often exit Ajmeri Gate; metro interchange riders use different exits. Pin the main road — not inside the station complex.
Hazrat Nizamuddin vs Anand Vihar — which station am I at?
Nizamuddin (NZM) serves many south-bound trains near Lodhi Road. Anand Vihar (ANVT) is east Delhi — different cab approach entirely. Check your ticket prefix before booking.
Can I book a cab from Delhi Metro station exit?
Yes — book from the station forecourt after exiting the paid area (Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Dwarka, Saket). Drivers cannot enter the paid metro zone. Share your exit gate number in notes.
Connaught Place to IGI Airport — how much buffer time?
Off-peak: 45–60 min. Peak (5–8 PM) or winter smog: 90+ min. Book with upfront fare on 19Cabs so the price is locked before you leave Inner/Outer Circle.
Is bike taxi available in Delhi NCR?
Yes — bike works for short Metro last-mile hops (CP, Saket, Lajpat Nagar). For airport or Ring Road trips, book auto or cab. Check vehicle options in the app at your pin.
Does 19Cabs cover Gurgaon and Noida from Delhi?
Within our ~50 km NCR pickup radius, yes — DND Flyway, NH-48 Gurgaon, and Noida Expressway legs are common. Confirm your drop pin; upfront fare shows before you book.
Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk) — can the cab enter the gali?
Usually no — pin main road (Red Fort ring, Chandni Chowk metro exit, or Fatehpuri side). Walk the last 2–5 min. Same rule for Jama Masjid area on Friday afternoons.
Is 19Cabs safe for late-night Delhi airport arrivals?
Use in-app live GPS sharing, confirm upfront fare before you get in, and match the vehicle plate in the app. For emergencies, use in-app safety options and local emergency numbers first.
Best cab app for Delhi NCR in 2026?
For airport, station, and Metro last-mile with upfront pricing, 19Cabs is built for NCR friction (terminals, gates, ring-road timing) — not just “enter destination”. Book at https://19cabs.com/cities/delhi/
