Cows sleeping in the road, pedestrians crossing without looking, tuctucs flying around, Jodhpur has its fair share of Indian street sights. But it isn"t as manic as other cities and there are taxi stands all across the city.
Various taxis and taxi companies will rent their services on a per day basis which is a good option for a full day sightseeing. For example there is R.L Car Rental in Bhaskar Circle and Taxi in Jodhpur on Mandore Road.
Private taxis in Jodhpur are well geared towards the tourist market. In fact, their main business is with tourists as locals rarely used private taxis. The definition between taxi and car with driver blus somewhat here, as many taxi drivers will have extensive experience working as chauffeurs for tourists. Private taxis are pre booked and charge on a per km or per day brasis. You should look at around €1 for 5-6 kms or €30 -40 for a full day, although this can vary dependent on whether it"s high or low tourist season (high season is November - February). As a general rule you will get much better prices and service pre booking through a reputable taxi company than stopping a taxi on the street.
There are a lot of taxi stands across Jodhpur and tourist taxis normally come in the form of Maruti or Tata vehicles. They can be small and run down but they function well enough. With most taxi journeys you will have to negotiate a price.
The narrow lanes of the inner walled city of Jodhpur are well suited to auto rickshaws and if you are making a small trip this is a good choice of transport. Fares must be negotiated in advance and setting off without being clear about the price is a big no no. The driver will often not start negotiating, knowing he is in a much stronger position if you have already used his services.
Agree a price first: When taking a taxi or auto rickshaw it"s imperative that a clear agreement has been made about the price. Arriving at your destination without agreeing a price will result in the driver asking for triple or quadruple the going rate and there is little you can do about it.
If you don"t pre book a taxi you will have to negotiate a price. Taxis don"t use the metre so be prepared for 5 minutes haggling over a price.
In Jodhpur there is a small problem with unregistered taxis offering services to tourists. While they will offer cheaper prices with taxis they are not safe. There are many taxi stands across the city and many taxi companies you can use to pre book your transport.
You will find many designated taxi stands across the city and getting a taxi is not a problem in Jodhpur.
