Though it probably would be quite a bit more expensive, the safest mode of transportation would be for you to arrange it with your hotel.
There was a prepaid counter but it was closed when we arrived. We did get into what we thought was a cab in a designated area but have to say that we paid a bit more than we should have and were not happy when someone else jumped into the front of the cab- found it intimidating. I have made up my mind that the next time we go to BOM we will get the hotel car. We have travelled all over the world and its the first time we have been scammed by a taxi( apart from the usual antics of course)- thought we were too well travelled to fall for anything. How wrong was I
