If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a pickup; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
- Agree the fare before you get in; carry small rupee notes or ask whether cards are accepted.
- Public buses do not run all night: if no ride is available, sleep near the airport.
