What to see during your tour in Jaipur with a rented minibus with driver

The Pink City has arguably the largest concentration of attractions anywhere in India. You will be wowed and the question is what you will see first. A rented minibus with driver is ideal for group travel. Although the attractions are relatively close together constantly finding transport to move between them in laborious. We recommend allowing a couple of full days so you can experience the best of Jaipur at a leisurely pace. From Jaipur you"re in the perfect place to explore more of India by heading into the Rajasthan desert or towards the Taj Mahal and Delhi.

There are almost 50 companies offering coach hire in Jaipur and these are both car rental agencies and tour companies. They have similar prices and can be compared on our website. 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.

Heading into Rajasthan

Jaipur is a jumping off point to explore the rest of Rajasthan and has far more coach hire companies than the other cities in the province. One idea is to arrive in Jaipur and allow a couple of free days for your group to explore the sights on their own. Then hire a minibus or coach with driver to get out into the desert and the rest of Rajasthan. This includes the Blue City of Jodhpur, the City of Lakes, Udaipur, and the desert city of Jaiselmer. One way rental is a good option and if you finish in Udaipur or Jodhpur you have direct air and rail connections to Delhi and Mumbai.
