Transport: Bangalore airport to the Hotel

[Klutto Milleth <klutto@cewit.org.in>]

Dear all,

Taxis are the best and easiest way for reaching the Hotel from the Airport

Beware: there are private taxi operators who will try to pick you just before you get into the line for the below taxis. Don't go with them. They will charge a lot. You can see the warning placed everywhere in the Airport.

Currency exchange is inside the airport building before the exit. Please have atleast $100 equivalent in INR, because most of the shops and cabs only accept local currency. 

No Buses

       -> Since all flights arrive in night it will be cumbersome to board a bus.
       -> Moreover the bus may not stop in front of the hotel as the
routes are slightly diverted due to metro constuction.

The safe and cheapest option are the metered taxis where you can pay according to the meter charge when you get down

       -> Meru Cabs (Green color) ~INR 600 (<$15).
         
       -> Easy Cabs (White color) ~INR 600 (<$15).
       -> Both these taxi operators will be available just outside
the arrival gate of the main building (towards right side).
       -> There will be a taxi official who will assign the taxis.

Also, you have the option of the prepaid taxis where you can pay in advance and get the service

You will get more sophisticated cabs, and the counter is on the left hand side when you come out of the arrival gate
       -> Akbar Travels will cost Rs. 900 (<$22)
       -> Hertz will Rs. 1100 (<$25)
