Fortunately, with private transport you"ll have a driver and a guide who can show you around and maybe even get you access to an Indian wedding.

Watch the Jodpur tour video before renting a car with driver
This tour video starts at Jodhpur"s most famous sight, the iconic Clock Tower. Then it heads into the bazaar for some spice smelling. Jodhpur Fort is on top of a steep tiring hill - another good reason for having private transport to take you around. The Rajasthan wedding on the video is typical of many local celebrations; vivid, over the top, and unforgettable. They probably got the clothes from the bazaar, where women dye cloth before selling it in the textiles bazaar. Finally, for an alternative Jodhpur experience try the bazaar at night. Tell the driver to wait for you at his car. Don’t worry you can handle the extra costs and you’ll value the ride back to your hotel with as textile and souvenirs that you’ll have bought.
Jodhpur is a 600 year old city in Rajasthan that"s commonly known as the Blue City. Its famous attraction are its blue houses, but some people also call it Sun City on account of how bright and hot it is 12 months of the year.

In Jodhpur there are a range of vehicles from Tata and Maruti minibuses to more comfortable Volvo coaches. You should request a new vehicle as the Rajasthan desert takes no prisoners and you don"t want dust seeping through the windows. Drivers in charge of large vehicles will have experience working with tourists and won"t be as gun-ho behind the wheel as the tuctuc drivers. As an approximate price guide 18 seater mini coaches are around €30-40 for every 4 hours or 40 kilometres. 45 seater coaches cost around double this price. Would you like to rent a bus in Jodhpur?

Airport Transfer in Jodhpur
Jodhpur airport (JDH) has flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Udaipur. It"s only 5 km from the city centre and a taxi should not cost more than approx. €3. For a really authentic entry you can get picked up from the airport in a tuctuc. Touts wait at the airport and will try taking you to a taxi or tuctuc.
If you have booked other ground transport services in Jodhpur like car with driver or minibus or coach hire your rental company should include airport transfer as part of the cost. They won"t want you landing and getting talked into using somebody else"s service so they usually send a meet and greet local to welcome your party to the city. You can reserve or request transportation in the city of Jadhpur, where you can choose from multiple specialized companies, and you can request a size or specific type of bus. We suggest to conatct companies like Metro International Tours and Travel in Sarsawati Nagar, Jodhpur Car Rental in Ratanada, and Jain Travels in Ratanada.

Taxis in Jodhpur
Jodhpur might look cute and charming but you can still expect to find the usual Indian road sights; cows sleeping in the traffic, tuc tucs going down the pavement, and pedestrians crossing without looking. The best approach to getting a taxi or auto rickshaw is to use one of the many taxi stands across the city. Taxis cost around double that of the auto rickshaw but both modes of transport are very cheap. As long as your negotiating skills are good.
Various taxi companies and tour operators like R.L Car Rental in Bhaskar Circle and Taxi in Jodhpur on Mandore Road also hire taxis on a per day basis. This is a good option for your long day sightseeing. While many taxi drivers will offer their services for full day hire it is advisable to book a specialist car with driver as this ensures a good knowledgeable driver guide.

Walking around the old Jodhpur city is a delightful experience, and most people are amazed to find that a lot of the buildings are really painted blue. Watch donkey carts head past then pick up a couple of samosas and spend an hour people watching. Umaid Bhawan Palace and the marble Jaswant Thada are the city"s two other must see attractions.
