Agra Forum: Jaipur to Agra to Delhi

I think you must hire a car with driver from Jaipur and drive to Agra, after visit the Taj Mahal and local sightseeing move to Delhi IGI airport for onward journey… Good luck

Hiring a car service seems as a good option. My question is how long does it take by car to get from Agra to Delhi? (We have a domestic flight to Ahmedabad at 9:40pm so i believe if we are there by 8:00pm it should be ok ...or I am wrong?)

How can I reserve a car service in advanse? How much does it cost (just agra to delhi)?

Thanks!!

Delhi to Agra drive hrs will be 4 ½ and cost will be around 105 USD. So I would like suggest to you that you must hire a car from Jaipur then Agra Taj Mahan and then Delhi Airport. Your travel schedule will be 7 am from Jaipur and 11 arrive at Agra and visit the Taj Mahal and other sightseeing for 3 ½ hrs and move for Delhi airport and it will cost you 135 USD from Jaipur – Agra – Delhi.

The car trip sounds tempting. But how come the price is 30$ difference and the trip is double if we get the car at Jaipur?

If we decide to do this, when should we make the reservation? (Online or on spot in Jaipur?)

Thanks!

Hi, Eli, online advance reservation would be much better compare then on-spot booking, price little difference because a car going to long drive not to a double drive, for Eg. Agra – Delhi – Agra is 500 Km and if you add Jaipur then it will be 740 Km only so you are getting 30$ only. Cheers

One of the cars I hired was from Udaipur to Ahmedabad from company called Rajasthan Tours'n'Travels. They do have offices in Jaipur and Delhi. I booked ahead and got very good rate and overall was very pleased with the service. www.RajasthanToursnTravels.com

Our driver was fantastic, when booking, make sure you will ask for English-speaking one.

Thank you all for the input and suggestions.

We had a wonderful experience in India, and with the car service choice was excellent. We booked the car with Icon India Tours (http://www.iconindiatours.com)for the full 3 day trip Jaipur-Agra-(Jaipur) Delhi. We had to make extra stop as per my planning mistake on visiting Taj Mahal on Friday (when closed). Fortunately Sabu (the coordinator) had provided input and re-plan that we visit Taj on Thursday.

The driver Raj was excellent, professional we felt safe at all times. He spoke English enough to understand each other, and suggested several places for visiting and food (all great choice).

We got little scared with all the terrorist attacks as we were in Mumbai at that time, but we went back to Mumbai on Dec 2nd and everything was back to normal....with extra security around :)

We definitely plan to contact Sabu and Icon India tours next time we visit India!
