Where do I get the taxi from?

Outside any terminal of New Delhi Airport (T1, T2, T3), you will find both regular taxis and dedicated booths where you can book a radio taxi service. Just follow the signage and you’ll have no trouble locating either option.

Convenience

If, after a long flight, you just want to have a carefree experience, booking a taxi transfer is the most comfortable solution. It might not be the cheapest option, but you won’t have to worry about waiting times, language issues, or negotiating prices. Once you land, an English-speaking driver will be waiting for you outside your terminal and drop you off straight at the door of your desired destination!

Editor’s Note

Taking a taxi or private transfer is the most comfortable option, especially if you're travelling with lots of luggage or in a group (so you can share the final price!). If, instead, you're travelling on a budget, the metro will get you to Faridabad at the same time and at a lower cost.

Useful Tips

It is safer to book your taxi in advance or through one of the dedicated taxi booths at the airport rather than taking a regular taxi, as taxi scam reports in Delhi are common.
Unless you pre-book your transfer with a company like Welcome Pickups, you’ll have to negotiate the price with the drivers.
Bring cash: taxis don’t take cards unless you have already pre-booked a ride and paid for it online.
Drivers expect tips in India of about €2 (INR 178) per ride.

You can take the Orange Line (10) from Airport Terminal 3, or the Magenta Line (8) at Terminal 1. If, instead, you’re landing at Terminal 2, you can easily walk to Terminal 3 in less than 5 minutes or take a shuttle bus.

Convenience 

If you are not travelling with lots of luggage, taking the Delhi Airport to Faridabad metro is a great choice in terms of the trip duration and the cost per head. 

Just keep in mind that metros don’t run between 23:30 and 05:00, so if you arrive late at night, pre-booking a private transfer for a guaranteed on-time pick, is recommended.

Editor’s Note

Delhi metro is very easy to navigate. You will find colour-coded directions, signs and train stripes, and even dedicated pink seats in each carriage, only for women.

Useful Tips

The Delhi metro system is recognised as one of the best metro systems in the world.
In the metro it is not allowed to eat, take pictures or bring pets.
If you know that you’ll use the metro more than twice, getting a metro card is more cost-effective and convenient than buying a one-way ticket each time, and will give you access to all gates.

How to get from Delhi Airport to Faridabad by bus

Although there is no direct bus from Delhi Airport to Faridabad, you can combine the bus with the metro/train in order to reach the city.

The bus line 534 from Delhi Airport operates from 06:30 to 22:30, Mon-Sun. The Metro operates from 05:00 to 23:30, Mon-Sun.

Where do I get the bus from?

In order to reach Faridabad, you can combine different bus and metro lines. The most convenient option is taking the bus line 534 from Terminal 2 (Air India Office) and getting off at the Nehru Place Paras Cinema station. After that, you will have to walk around 5 minutes to take the Violet metro line until Old Faridabad.

Take into consideration that if you decide to take other bus lines, you’ll have to make more than one metro change, so this might not be a good option if you’re travelling with lots of luggage.

Convenience

Taking the bus is definitely the least convenient option in terms of money, trip duration and comfort, but if you’re a solo adventurer and you want to travel like a local and meet people on the way, it’s a good way to experience the city.

Editor’s Note

If you are travelling on a budget, the metro would be better than the bus+metro combo trip. However, if you are arriving late at night or are not super budget-conscious, I recommend taking a taxi from Delhi Airport to Faridabad or pre-booking a private transfer with Welcome Pickups. It is the safest choice and will bring you straight to the door of your accommodation in full comfort, for a very reasonable fare.

Useful Tips

You can buy bus tickets directly from the driver once you get on the bus.
The bus ticket fare is based on the distance travelled, so you’ll have to inform the conductor of your final destination.
Bring cash; most buses in India do not accept electronic payments or smart cards.
Buses are often full in Delhi, so you will likely have to stand.
