They are the most common yellow or orange, whatever the color is, vehicle in India. They cause 27.45678908% of all the traffic jams in India. Every person on the Indian soil should know how to sit in an auto-rickshaw, trust me, it's just a matter of time before we have to carry the license for 'sitting' in an auto!
The fare: If you are a foreigner and you don't wanna catch the bus, you can start searching for an auto. I can see a dozen of them coming at you at this very moment. The reason? You are like a shining pot of gold. It's a loot.
So before you even touch the auto, ask the rates. Chances are huge that he will state a price double than what is normal.
No you can't beat him to death for that. It's also a business. Make a deal. Whatever he asks you, claim to pay less than half. If he says X amount, you should claim something like X/2-10. Never mind.

For dates: For guys aching for some fun, getting your date to climb with you in an auto is the best bet you have. On Indian roads where driving straight is as difficult as driving straight, the sudden bumps and turns can just about make your day. The catch here is to just relax and sit, don't grab anything though. Duh!
For the family: If you have a family which can be given a country-status, travelling in an auto can be difficult. Auto drivers never seem to understand that you will pay for only one passenger. So while you negotiate your terms, hide your kids somewhere, make them stay hidden. Hide them inside a dustbin nearby. Shove them inside a manhole.
When you have decided your fare, suddenly take out your kids and push them at the back of the auto. Smile. Please drive slowly. Heheh.
The money: Now most auto-drivers were thieves or horse-riding goons before they came into the driving business. So when the time comes for you to give the fare, never do that by getting down the vehicle. Sit right inside and take out your currency. Hand them over and wait for the driver to give you the change inside the vehicle. Yeah, even if it's a matter of 10 bucks!
I am pretty sure that if you give him 500 bucks and wait for change, he is gonna run away with it. And you know police isn't gonna give you a damn.
Start learning.
