Jaipur to Agra is about 289 km by road — 5–7 hours in a car, most of it on NH21. A one-way taxi costs from ₹3,200 with us, fixed before you leave. Two sides of the Golden Triangle — the forts of Jaipur to the Taj at Agra.
How far is Agra from Jaipur?
About 289 km, measured door to door between the two city centres — the distance the fares below are worked out on. Starting from the edge of either city, or going on to a suburb, changes it by a few kilometres either way.
In a car it takes 5–7 hours. That is worked out at 42 to 55 km an hour, which is what these roads really average once the town crossings, toll queues and a tea stop are counted. A maps app will show less; it is quoting an empty road.
The road from Jaipur to Agra
Most trips take NH21. Leaving Jaipur, it runs through:
- Jaipur
- Dausa
- Sikandra
- Mahwa
- Bharatpur
- Fatehpur Sikri
- Agra
Coming back from Agra, it is the same road with the towns the other way round. The driver picks the road on the day — traffic and roadworks decide it more than the map does — and if you want a particular one, say so when you set off.
On the way
- Abhaneri — the Chand Baori stepwell, a short detour off the road in Dausa district.
- Bharatpur — the Keoladeo bird sanctuary, on the road itself.
- Fatehpur Sikri — Akbar’s abandoned capital, on the road just before Agra.
To stop at any of them, add it as a stop when you book. The fare shown is for the direct trip; the desk calls to confirm what a stop adds before you travel. With a round trip the same driver waits while you are there.

Staying a night or two
A round trip keeps the same car and driver with you for every day you are away, so it is priced for every day. These are the fares for coming back on the same day, the next day, and the day after, with the return date put into the booking form.
| Car | Same day | 2 days | 3 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hatchback | ₹5,780 | ₹5,780 | ₹7,500 |
| Dzire | ₹6,360 | ₹6,360 | ₹8,250 |
| Ertiga | ₹7,510 | ₹7,510 | ₹9,750 |
| Innova Crysta | ₹10,400 | ₹10,400 | ₹13,500 |
| Tempo Traveller (12 seater) | ₹14,450 | ₹14,450 | ₹18,750 |
| Tempo Traveller (14 seater) | ₹15,028 | ₹15,028 | ₹19,500 |
| Tempo Traveller (16 seater) | ₹16,762 | ₹16,762 | ₹21,750 |
| Force Urbania (16 seater) | ₹20,230 | ₹20,230 | ₹26,250 |
Driver’s night allowance is added for each night away and is not part of these fares. If the stay is long and the car would sit idle, two one-way bookings can come out cheaper — the one way or round trip guide works through when.
