Pre booked airport transfers

Pre booked Taxi:

Pre booking a taxi from Jodhpur can be done through your hotel, a local taxi company, or travel agent. We have a number of these companies listed on our site. A taxi should not cost more than approx. €3. The advantage of pre booking is you won’t get ripped off and you can be certain of a safe and reliable taxi. A driver will meet you at arrivals.

Car with driver:

If you have booked a car with driver service in Jodhpur they will meet you at the airport. The company will not want you landing and getting talked into somebody else’s services and with this option you can start sightseeing straight away.

Organising an airport transfer on arrival at Jaipur Airport

Taxi on arrival:

There are a lot of touts at Jodhpur Airport who will offer you cheap taxi rides into the city. Never agree on a deal with a tout. First see the taxi and the driver before deciding. There are lots of taxis around so if you’ve been quoted a huge price just shake your head and find another taxi. In local currency you shouldn’t be paying more than Rs 200-250, although touts will quote astronomical fees knowing they can keep the extra profit. Cash only.

Tuctuc:

Jodhpur is one of the few airports in India where you can take a tuctuc. This is a very authentic way of entering the city, and it’s novel to step off a giant plane and get into a tiny tuctuc. Expect to pay Rs100 – 200 but the amount will depend on your negotiation skills.

Using Public Transport:

With private airport transfers being so cheap it’s rare that a tourist uses public transport to get from the airport. If you  really want to take all your luggage on a crowded local bus then speak to an official at the airport, showing them a map of where you want to go. They will point out the appropriate bus to catch.
