A Google search seems to show that there is an official taxi company affiliated with the airport, but that they only accept QAR cash. Anyone know if that's still true? And if they are good about using the meter?
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you!
The airport WiFi does just about extend to the front of the building arrivals area but not much further. Depending where you are going, it might be worth considering the Doha Metro. Last time I used a cab there there was a fixed surcharge of something like QAR25 from the airport, but not when returning. On the limited number of times I have done this the cabbies we're happy to use the meter.
