Being insistant, somewhat tough and having bargaining skills will help a lot in Delhi. If you are offered a price at a bazaar, at a rickshaw-couch, or particularly on the street, do not even think about accepting it immediately, as the fun is to go down as much as they let you (and they will). This harms no one and bargaining is not a sign of stinginess, but an everyday practice
Especially beware of the Auto-Rickshaw drivers - these guys are out to fleece - esp if they know that you are a tourist & new to the city etc. never go by agreed fares for commuting within the city - always insist that the driver take u by the meter-reading or always insist that he show you the fare chart (they are all liable to carry one) - in case the guy starts to rant & rave after taking you to your destination. if nothing helps - there are two ways out :
1. look for the nearest cop & ask for assistance
2. aviod these hassles & go for pre-paid taxi/rickshaw services - there is always a pre-paid taxi service outside all major bus stations & railways stations enjoy your trip to Delhi .
