I think OP is trying to book a taxi and is communicating with someone over WhatsApp who has said she should come to India and get married. She's now wondering if this is strange and perhaps she should look elsewhere for transport.

Well I think the answer is obviously she shouldn't get in this man's taxi.

Me neither

yes but they are usually more expensive

More expensive but at least not a random we on WhatsApp. I think considering you’re travelling to a country with extremely high rape and sexual assault cases, the bit more money is worth it to be fair now.

Why not book through a travel agent, so that they can arrange any pick ups and drop offs?

Well you can go with the more expensive option through the hotel that will get you to your destination or you can go with the cheaper option that may or may not get you to your destination and may or may not come with the added bonus of an unwanted arranged marriage. Your choice.
