You can report overcharging to the Maharashtra Traffic Police through the MumTrafficApp app. But I suspect no foreigner is going to want to deal with the Police, plus it's not worth the time for tourists anyway. Locals with this constant problem may want to report it. So just stick to ride apps, and try to travel outside of rush hours because the ride apps run out of cars often in Mumbai.

Many people don't know about meter tampering it happens a lot in mumbai.
They manipulate the meters ecu & control the meter through a hidden switch beside & below thier accelerator.
By pressing the button the meter think kilometers are running & jumps the price very fast, faster than usual kilometers jump which increases gradually after every while.
There is red dot button at last of the price meter row.
That button keeps on blinking while the rickshaw is moving & measures the distance & fare accordingly.
That red blinking button stops blinking when the rickshaw has stopped at a signal or stalled.
If that button keeps on blinking even at stalled or stopped rickshaw that means the meter has been tampered & the driver is using button to raise the km & price.

90% of the places in Mumbai, autos always use meter. Mumbai has the most honest and kind auto drivers I've ever experiences anywhere in India. I've lived in Mumbai for 5 years. I've gotten rides for free multiple times. Once I forgot my phone in an auto and the man came back on his own to give it to me.

In Mumbai, when you come out of Airport, there would be many Auto rickshaw walas who don’t use meter and ask for Rs 250, 300 or so for a ride. But, If you take a walk from Airport’s exit to the main road (walking distance) then you can easily find Auto rickshaws running according to meter readings. 🙌🏻

Always verify that the meter is working and set to the correct fare before starting the journey. What other tips do you have for taking rickshaws?
