What's the airport taxi in Bangalore price?
Bangalore Airport taxi fares aren’t fixed. Each taxi is fitted with a taximeter, which calculates your fare based on both distance and time. There are two main types of taxis from Bangalore Airport: air-conditioned taxis and non-air-conditioned taxis. You’ll also find Pink Cabs, which are special taxis for women and families.
For the air-conditioned taxis and Pink Cabs, you can expect to pay a base fare of €1 (INR 100), which includes the first 4 km, and a price per km of €0.24 (INR 24) during the day. Non-air-conditioned taxis are slightly cheaper, but very uncomfortable and not recommended. For non-AC taxis, there’s a €0.75 (INR 75) base fare and then a cost per km of €0.18 (INR 18) after the first 4 km. There’s also a 10% surcharge for rides between 00:00 and 06:00.
For example, taking a taxi from Bangalore Airport to the city costs around €15 (INR 1,500) during the day and €16 (INR 1,600) at night. Traveling a little further to Whitefield takes 70 minutes and costs approximately €20 (INR 1,995) during the day and €22 (INR 2,150) at night.
To avoid the uncertainty of the taximeter and enjoy a pre-paid, fixed fare you can rely on, you can also book your airport taxi in Bangalore with Welcome Pickups.

Getting from Bangalore Airport to your hotel
Bangalore city center is huge and extremely busy. Trying to navigate this sprawling city on your own as you’ve just gotten off a long flight is a nightmare.
