India Rickshaw Scams Exposed & How to Get the Best Price (Save 50%+) 

This dude is doing a real job of exposing the local cheats.

“3 kilometers, like 60 rupees.” Driver: *”ok 100”*

They are cheaters not only to foreigners but also to the people who coming from other states of India. Thank for the video.

Nothing better than seeing the frustration inside their eyes when you say " no "

How negotiating in India be like Driver: Sir I give very best price at 100 rupees. You: No that's too much. Driver:How about 110 rupees. You:Am I a joke to you.

Whenever a indian says "My Friend" JUST RUN😂

Scammer: I need ur house Him: for what Scammer: feed baby

Basic rule of India: if anybody comes to you, you are getting scammed.

I’m an Indian, and very shy at bargaining. I appreciate your skill🙋‍♂️

they ask same from locals also.thats why ola and uber flourished here

This guy bargains better than I do in delhi 🤪

Thanks Karl for highlighting such scams.I am from North east India and have suffered many times, whenever i have visited New Delhi.They start messing around from the Airport itself .The drivers have turned hostile on numerous occasions ,whenever we tried to reason with them.Keeps me sadly wondering, what they had been doing to tourists visiting our country. No wonder why the repo of our beautiful country is so messed up .

I'm a South indian and when I went north, I found your videos so much helpful...🤝

They even scam us when they see that we are from different state of india...!!

All Foreigners Should Use *OLA Cabs* or Uber When Traveling in India

Sir , Hats off to you . When I was in Delhi , I got conned badly. Big Salute to your Sting Operation.

In short you are doing that job, which should be Job Ministry of tourism India. Misty shopper . Lots of respect from Indian born New Zealand (kiwi) All Blacks🌸🌸👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿

OMG that guy in the thumb nail tried to scam me and my Mrs but I wasn't having any of it, I'm so shocked and surprised he's featured in your video.

I am an Indian and this guy just taught me how to bargain with my own countrymen. Thanks a lot man! I subbed!

Dude, I have never realized there are so many types of scams in India, especially for the tourists. You are a true scam finder. Indian police should hire you!

Bargain ... And walk away ... Thats the trick... Be safe guys

Breaking News: Pewdiepie goes to India to spy on T-Series

Walking away is the key to relationships

wow how evil is this world we live in.

"ask him for more money when you drop him" *W O W*

when your country so dangerous,they start to make survival guide about it 🤣✌️

How to avoid Indian scams: Get a spray tan

Walking away is key😂😂🤣🤣 Btw it's true

These rickshaw walas try to scam Indian domestic tourist too...they charge extra if they finds that you are from another state. It happens to me always. But as we know they are lying, so we bargain.

Rickshaw drivers in major cities of India (especially Delhi) are obliged by law - To charge you by meter. - Cannot deny you transport if the rickshaw is not occupied. When i was in Delhi, this is what i used to do & it always worked. This method was encouraged to me by a Delhi police officer. 1) Get in a rickshaw if you see its empty & immediately inform the driver your destination. 2) The Driver would say some bullshit price & you should say you want to pay by meter. At this point the driver will try to ask you out of the vehicle & or Say the Meter is not working. 3) Without any hesitation you simply take out your phone, Inform the driver & dial "100" (police) to complain. You should immediately inform the dispatcher that the rickshaw driver doesn't want to use the meter & make sure to tell them the Licence plate number of the Rickshaw. 4) Magically the Meter will start working & the driver will take you to the destination & charge you by meter. Conveying the licence plate number of the Rickshaw to the police ensures your safety, this way the driver wont take a revenge on you or cheat you or take the long route. P.S. make sure that the meter fair is set to "0.00" when your journey begins Wish you safe Travel.

Try to walk away for 5-6 times and than he ll let you ride for free😂 *walking away is the key*😂😂

This is really funny cause I travel 12 km for 150 rupees in Delhi, while they ask for 150 for 3 km.

Why don't you just tell them in their face "33 or nothing"

Scammer: I need a baby. Him: For what? Scammer: To feed the food.

Lol even as an Indian we get scammed a lot! That’s why I use Uber to get my rides

Even in Jammu, Auto rickshaw drivers don’t use meter and charge ₹50 even for distance less than 1KM

The sad part is if one is unsuccessful in scamming,he encourages other to scam as well !

When I was in India I found that Ola was the best way to get around, no haggling involved.

It's ridiculous that some people are trying to defend these drivers simply because of how much it equates to in U.S. Dollars. That's not the point. They are lying and deceiving tourists who are spending their honest earned money to boost their economy. Cradelling this form of dishonesty is morally wrong and simply advocating and promoting its continuation. It can also have much more sinister and dangerous repercussions than the seemingly trivial issues highlighted here.

This is so sad! Thanks for sharing.

“Walk away!” - Congrats u discovered the golden rule... Being an Indian am literally very ashamed to say, if someone from India come from a different state, he also got scammed... I love watching ur videos... Keep it up..

I would like to tell you that government rate isn't followed most of the time... Even for locals....

Whip out your phone and say you are calling uber/ola. Works like a charm for me!

I am actually a new resident in Delhi as well. And I never knew about these government regulations. They used to charge a hell lot when I first came with my family ,but ever since I started living with my "Delhi" friends ,the prices became a little bearable. I thought I was smarter than my parents since I was saving money, but looks like all of us were scammed on daily basis afterall

Thank you for exposing T Series pewdiepie

Dude , even Indian need the survival guide you showed at the end XD

This doesn't even happen only with foreigners it happens ... even with us .. 😂 they will never go on meter ,😂

Scammer: give me 60 rupees for 3 kilometres Karl: why Scammer: to feed the baby

Really sad

tbh, you look like pewdiepie and benedict cumberbatch. IT'S SO COOL

What happened to me already twice: The group of taxi drivers stick together and all asked for that same high prices. At the end I was walking.

this mostly applies to Delhi: 1) always look jaded like you take this route everyday, with 100 rupees in 10-20 rupee notes ready in your pocket, wallet deep inside your bag. 2) never choose the first 5 autos available; especially the ones who look like they've been waiting there a while chilling; walk down the road and flag one down 3) tell the driver where you want to go with the price you're offering and say you have change (the 10-20 rupee notes in your pocket - add another 10-20 rupees if you want/you're in a hurry). getting change off a 100rupee note is ridiculously difficult. 4) tell the driver to drop you off at the beginning of a market, instead of the middle section, so he knows he can pick up another customer immediately after your drop off 5) be prepared to walk away 6) be prepared to wait 10 minutes before you find a realistic price 7) know that less pedestrian-populated areas where he won't find another customer are going to be a pain in the elbow to haggle (embassies, hotels) 8) if you're going to a less popular market, name a landmark/metro station for guidance 9) don't bother with street names; landmarks/metro stations work better 10) if the auto driver stops to ask, for example, 3 people how to get somewhere, all 3 will give completely different answer, it's all part of the adventure ;) 11) ive also offered 10-20 rupees above the meter price; if they promise to use the meter 12) learn how to say 30/50/100/150 in hindi 13) do check out the metro, it's spotless and affordable; especially if you're staying in a hotel; the autos around hotels are really difficult to haggle 14) government prepaid auto stands may also surcharge up to 40 rupees fyi 15) you're better off taking the metro to Chandni Chowk; the traffic is horrendous there; and then hire a cycle rickshaw for a tour 16) if he suddenly changes the price mid-route, tell him to stop, give him 50 rupees, and get off immediately; if he changes the price at the end; offer him 20 rupees above the initial negotiated price and walk off. sure, i was left trembling, but i was comfortable knowing i'd offered a reasonable fare and wasn't going to pay 150 rupees for a 10 minute drive. keep calm, polite, firm and jaded. 17) go to a taxi station and ask them about their 4h and 8h rates (with or without a/c) - sometimes that might work out cheaper for you if you've got many stops planned. remember to give them the parking money needed during the stops (20-30 rupees). 18) if a market is coincidentally "closed" tell them you're going to go eat at a specific restaurant/visit an indian uncle/aunty. 19) the "best bazaar/markets/showrooms" they suggest *never* have the best quality/affordable products. go to the Swiss Cottage in Janpath and start building a repertoire of quality&price 20) i couldn't end this list at 19).

more indians are watching your video than foreigners :P

1.3K dislikes are from Auto Wala(Rikshaw)

You are paying even also the big amount after bargaining. Start bargaining with rs.20 if he tells the price of 150. Then he will come on actual price of a particular distance✌️ As a indian i do on daily basis and believe me it works😅

I am Indian ... And i proudly that's type of smart guest come in India ...... Always come and be safe

_Hey pewds..._ _Oh wrong channel_

My mother will pay him 20 rupees instead of 33. Lol she is a bargaining expert Once she bought me bag which is for 500rupees but paid the shopkeeper 200 rupees lol

I'm an Indian, from Manipur to be exact, and people try to scam me, just cus I have Asian looks. 🤷‍♂️

2:13 absolute brass neck.

At 1:44 😂 when he said ask him for more money later I was like wtf seriously.

The way they get shocked that you actually know what the prices should be. That's what I love about these videos. He's teaching is the importance of researching and knowing about whatever country/place we're traveling to. Remember, Knowledge is Power.

AVOIDING A SCAM STEP 1: Dont come to India.

0:29 are we gonna ignore the fact that he literally bumped his head on the pole

This guy is smarter than me and i live in delhi 😹

I m indian.... And this content is awesome

These bad ppl ruin India sorry for such scam and thank you for making this video to help other ppl

2:13 “Hundre rupree come on” He’s so slick😂😂

pewdiepie dad?

Hey karl, This is not just helpful for the foreigner's, but we Indian's are also learning about these scammers through your videos.

Not only foreigners We indians ourself get scammed by the locals when we are from another state and doesnt know the place and language

Huge thanks for you exposing this scammers. Great job. 👍

1:41 my friend VERY QUICKLY

Is this whole country is just about scamming? Just sad dawg

"Ask him for more money when you drop him off" LMAO THATS SAVAGE

Bro i am indian and watching your vedios is like awareness I get more than foreigners😂😂😂

In March I was heading to my college and as usual I used auto because of exams timing. Dudes used to charge me Rs 130 and luckily traffic policemen stopped him on the way and asked for his driving papers after hearing from me what price he charged me. He even had auto meter installed but hidden with a curtain. Traffic policemen then asked me about my college and said it doesn't probably cost more than Rs 40. I was shocked.

scammer: i need ur car me: why? scammer: feed baby

Use ola/uber . It's easy than bargaining.

Keep up the good work sir, I am an Indian myself, even i don't know these scams India, Keep posting videos and do take care sir, exposing scams will be headache for you, please take care sir,

This is the reason they have lost their jobs to UBER and OLA.

It's funny that I am using this series to learn about my own country through Carl

The problem is that I'm spending 10 minutes of negotiation to save literally ten US cents.

This is the best channel I've found in some time.

Scammer:I need your soul Me:for what Scammer:to feed baby

I like how he says "hmmmmm" every time they lie to him or try to scam him

Thank you pewdiepie

Your channel deserves a medal of some sort, I reckon you've saved hundreds of thousands of people from getting scammed, you're like a super hero 👍

2:00 He look like India version of Alex Jones

How to avoid scammers in India? Go to Japan.

dear karl in delhi and other big cities in india they cheated indians also they looted me like you because i was unable to find the truth of these types of people ..come to my village there you can see real indians and great heart of indians .

" my friend" will no longer bring comfort from anyone

Karl you're doing a really good job educating people about these scammers! Hats off! Also tell people solutions as to how this problem can me mitigated in the video itself as most people don't read the description

I don't know how I got here, and I have no intention on ever visiting India, but this is good information to have in general. Lol thanks.

I wish I saw your channel before I went to India even though you tent to learn rather quickly there. Having a GPS and checking out prices on Uber or Ola car can also help a lot to lower the price!

i know you won't notice me bc this is from 3 years ago but this is the first i watched of you and i can't stop watching thank you

You should speak to them in Hindi after the conversation to give them a shock

The uber and ola apps in India also have rickshaws.... The price is slightly high by 10-15 rupees or sometimes even same....so it is much more safer and easier for foreigners and even locals 😅

Rather just use uber app,it has provision for rickshaw also.

To all the people saying it happens only in the northern part of india and not the south. Its not true. It happens everywhere in India. I love india but there are just too many bad people in it. And i understand any country with a large population, cause its not easy. But its so bad when a country advertises tourism but when we visit we experience discrimination of various kinds.
