✈ Transfer Options from Jaipur Airport to City

The capital of India’s Rajasthan state, Jaipur, is filled with stunning palaces, a rich history, and luxurious hotels. With popular attractions such as Hawa Mahal, the City Palace and the Albert Hall Museum, this regal city is well worth a visit.

Jaipur Airport is located approximately 14 km from the city centre, taking around 15 minutes by car. You have three transportation options to get from Jaipur Airport to the city; taxi, private transfer or bus. The quickest and most reliable way to get to the centre is by taxi or private transfer, as the journey is short and your driver will take you door-to-door.

Alternatively, you can take the bus for just €0.20 (INR 20), which is a total bargain. However, the buses heading to the city centre depart from a bus stop 30 minutes walk away, making the journey complicated and long.

Useful Tips

It is recommended to discuss the taxi fare with the driver before starting your trip, even for a metered taxi.

If you’re using a local metered taxi, always ensure that the taximeter is turned on and working before you get going.

Make sure to have cash and small change if you’re using a metered taxi, as Jaipur taxi drivers don’t typically have change for larger notes.

Tipping in India is not expected but if you enjoyed the service, you can round up the fare.

Taxi services in Jaipur don’t usually accept credit cards, so it’s good to carry some cash in the local currency.

How to get from Jaipur Airport to the city by bus

Direct services from the airport to the centre were recently taken out of operation. You can still opt to catch a bus from Jaipur Airport to the city centre, but the route is not direct. There are a few public buses that stop close to the airport before heading into the centre of Jaipur. Buses 3, AC 1 and AC 2 are some of the services that operate such routes.

The public buses depart from the airport every 15 minutes or so and take around 30 minutes to reach the centre, dropping you off at various stops close to the Albert Hall Museum and Amar Jawan Jyotin Memorial Park. It’s best to ask the driver which stop to get off at in the centre.

However, the bus stop for these buses, B2 By Pass Circle, is a 30-minute walk away. So your journey to the centre by bus is more likely to take over an hour unless you take a taxi.
