Popular Taxi Route
Jaipur to Jaisalmer Taxi
A long day — 560 km and nine and a half hours of driving. We generally suggest breaking it at Jodhpur rather than doing it in one push, but it is perfectly doable direct with an early start.

Do you offer a one way Jaipur to Jaisalmer taxi?
Yes. A one-way drop is quoted for the leg you travel plus a return allowance for the vehicle, and it is usually much cheaper than a round trip if you are not coming back.
Can we stop for sightseeing on the way?
Yes. Short stops are fine on any route, and this one has genuinely worthwhile ones. Mention them when you book so we plan the day around them rather than rushing at the end.

Fuel, the driver and the kilometres in your quotation. Tolls, state permits, parking and the driver allowance are listed separately so you can see exactly what each item costs.
Which vehicle do you suggest for this route?
For two or three people a sedan is comfortable. For four to six, an Ertiga or Innova. For a group of eight or more, a Tempo Traveller. On longer legs the extra comfort of a Crysta is worth considering.
