- Ask the price before you order or get in — and say it back.
- Use a ride-hailing app instead of street taxis when you can; the fare is fixed upfront.
- Pay in local currency. If a card machine offers to charge you in INR, say no — the conversion rate is usually worse.
- Indian and vegetarian restaurants in tourist areas often cost more than local places — compare with the "restaurant dinner" line.
