Minibuses and coach rentals in Jaipur
Jaipur is a great travel base for people visiting India. From here you can go north and east and see the Golden Triangle of Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra. Or you can go south and west to explore the desert of Rajasthan and its historic cities. Minibus and coach rental is normally provided by a specialist tourist agent or rental company. These companies provide car with driver services and organised tours, and employ experienced English speaking drivers. Whatever your vehicle needs the plethora of companies in Jaipur mean you will be able to find exactly what you require.
For example Heritage India Tours and Travels on New Sanganer Road focus more on minibuses and their fleet takes a maximum number of 35 passengers. Jasbhag Tours & Travels on Adarsh Nagar has a huge fleet of vehicles ranging from 8 to 45 seaters. Indian brand coaches are cheaper than the Volvo coaches although the quality sometimes vary significantly. More important is requesting a new vehicle as the Rajasthan roads can be bumpy and dusty so you want to minimise the chances of a sore bottom. Would you like to rent a bus in Alicante? You can find a selection of bus rental companies with their profiles on our bus rental Jaipur page, like Shrusti Travels in Shalimar Arcade.
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.

Airport Transfer in Jaipur
Jaipur airport (JAI), mainly serves domestic cities but there are chartered flights to Europe during peak tourist season. It"s located in the suburb of Sanganer, 13km from Jaipur and has an ugly terminal which doesn"t do any justice to the wonderful architecture of the city. You may be disappointed to find out it"s not pink. There are a number of touts at the airport looking to sign you up for tours or get you in a taxi. The easiest way to avoid this is to pre book your airport transfer and have somebody greet you at the airport. Touts will not bother foreigners already walking with a local. You can reserve or request transportation in the city of Jaipur, where you can choose from multiple specialized companies, and you can request a size or specific type of bus from companies like Metro Cabs in Malviya Nagar Industrial Area, City Cabs on Siyaran Street, and The Travel People at 209 Adarsh Nagar.

Taxis in Jaipur
You will find both auto rickshaws and taxis in Jaipur. The former seems dangerous but is usually safe as the drivers have years of experience negotiating the cows in the road and the manic Indian traffic. Auto rickshaws are very cheap but you must negotiate a price with the driver for the journeys. However, beware of certain scams where auto rickshaw drivers will take you to expensive bars, gem shops, or overpriced souvenir stores. They will be on commission so politely decline the offers. It"s better to tell the driver he"ll get a nice tip if he provides a good service.
Taxis are hard to flag down on the streets of Jaipur unless you"re at the railway station or airport. Mainly you"ll find Maruti Omni Vans or Tata Indica taxis and these are twice as expensive as rickshaws but infinitely more comfortable. It"s easy to pre book a taxi and you"ll be told the registration plate of the vehicle picking you up. Many taxi companies offer full and multi-day hire so you can see all the different sights in Jaipur. Like Pitambra Tours and Travels on Gurjar Ki Thadi, City Cabs on Siyaram Street, or Pavan Jangid Metro Cabs on Kissan Marg.

Car with Driver Hire in Jaipur
With so many different sights in Jaipur it"s common for tourists to hire a car with driver. Your driver is also your guide and will fine tune your itinerary to maximise your time in the city. Don"t forget to ask him about street food and temples. He"ll show you the local sights and help you get away from the tourist crowds. Drivers should be tipped if they provide a good service and have jokes that make you laugh.
There are over 50 companies that offer car with driver hire in Jaipur. Many drivers are sole operators and are hired by travel agents to take different jobs. They don"t have the means to advertise on the internet which is why most people go through a travel agent.

It also means drivers must work hard for good recommendations so they keep getting repeat business. Some companies like India by Car and Driver in Balaji Tower, or Rajasthan Four Wheel Drive Ltd in Tonk Road, specialise in this service and offer a wide variety of vehicles. The cheapest are the Indian Maruti or Tata vehicles and start at €20 per day. Better drivers are usually trusted with better vehicles and you can book Jeeps, Mercedes, Toyota Corollas.
As Jaipur is the starting point for travelling the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan all the companies offer multi day rental. SVT Holidays at 24 Dhuleshwar Bagh, and Inde French Tour at Chandpole Bazaar, are just 2 of the companies you can compare on our list of car with driver hire companies.
City Tours in Jaipur
You can rent a bus in Jaipur for tours in the city or in Rajasthan Province. The question isn"t what to see but where to start? Jaipur has so many palaces and temples you"ll have a tick list longer than your arm. Amber Fort is a massive complex from 1600AD and you can take an elephant ride to the top of it. Or try Jaigarh Fort and Nakargarh Fort. The city palace blends 2 types of architecture so you can compare the differences between Rajput and Maghal styles, while the Jah Mahal water palace reflects beautifully off Man Sagar lake.

Govind Devji is the Lord Krishna"s second most important temple, and you can get close to the monkeys at Galwh Bagh, the monkey temple. But Jaipur is overrun with monuments and glorious ancient buildings, so make sure you allow a few days to take it all in. With prices for car with driver so cheap you can hire a vehicle for a few days and also get out to parts of the desert around Jaipur.
