Taxi from Ahmedabad to Anywhere in Gujarat

From Ahmedabad you can reach almost every part of Gujarat by road within a day: the temple towns and coast of Saurashtra, the salt desert of Kutch, the hills of north Gujarat, and the cities and industrial belts to the south. Travellers book taxis for pilgrimages, family holidays, weddings, business visits and multi-city tours.

Happy Car Rental provides cars with drivers from Ahmedabad to any destination in the state, for a one way drop, a round trip or a longer itinerary. This page explains the main regions, how outstation pricing works, and how to plan a trip that covers several places.

Our Outstation Rates

Saurashtra

The Saurashtra peninsula is where most of our long trips go. Rajkot is roughly 3.5–4 hours away and is a common first stop. From there you can head west to Jamnagar and Dwarka, or south to Junagadh, Sasan Gir and Somnath. On the eastern side, Bhavnagar and the Jain pilgrimage town of Palitana are closer to Ahmedabad.

• Dwarka and Somnath – the two great temple towns of the Saurashtra coast.
• Sasan Gir – lion safaris, usually combined with Somnath or Diu.
• Bhavnagar and Palitana – a port city and the Shatrunjaya hill temples.

Kutch

Kutch, in the far west, is a long drive of 5–7 hours. Gandhidham is the business centre near Kandla port, Bhuj is the base for the White Rann and craft villages, and Mandvi has the beach and the Vijay Vilas Palace. Winter, roughly November to February, is the main season, and some border areas need a permit, so check the current rules. See Bhuj, Gandhidham and Mandvi.

North Gujarat

North of Ahmedabad are some of the most visited temples in the state, mostly within 2–4 hours. Ambaji sits in the Aravalli hills near the Rajasthan border, Taranga has a hilltop Jain temple, and Patan and Modhera are known for their stepwell and sun temple. Mount Abu, just across the border in Rajasthan, is often added to a north Gujarat trip; interstate permits apply there.

Central and south Gujarat

Central Gujarat includes Vadodara, Anand, Nadiad, Dakor and Champaner–Pavagadh, all reachable in 1–3 hours on the expressway and highways. Further south, Bharuch, Surat, Navsari, Valsad and Vapi are mainly business and family routes, while the hill station of Saputara is popular during the monsoon.

How outstation pricing works

Round trips outside Ahmedabad are charged per km, and the km are counted from our garage back to our garage. A few simple rules decide the total:

• Minimum 300 km per day. If you drive less than that on a day, the day is still billed as 300 km. A two-day trip of 450 km in total is billed as 600 km.
• Driver allowance per day, which covers the driver’s food and stay.
• Toll tax, parking and border tax are extra and paid as they arise.
• Festival seasons such as Diwali and Navratri may see higher fares, so confirm when booking.

The per-km rate depends on the vehicle, from a Swift Dzire up to a Tempo Traveller. You will find all rates on the taxi tariff page. If you only need a drop, a one way taxi is available on many routes, and you pay for one direction only.

Planning a multi-city trip

Because of the daily minimum, multi-day tours are usually better value when each day includes a fair amount of driving. A few tips:

• Group places by region. Dwarka, Somnath and Gir fit naturally in one loop; Kutch works better as a separate trip.
• Keep daily driving to 6–8 hours so that you have time for darshan or sightseeing.
• Avoid long night drives, especially on the Kutch highway, which carries heavy truck traffic.
• Share the full itinerary when booking so the km and days can be estimated in advance.

A sample week could look like this: Ahmedabad to Dwarka on day one (with a stop at Rajkot or Jamnagar), Dwarka darshan and Bet Dwarka on day two, the coast road to Porbandar and Somnath on day three, Sasan Gir on day four, and Junagadh or Bhavnagar on the way back. Every itinerary is different, so treat this as a starting point and adjust the pace to your group.

If you prefer a ready plan, our 5 days, 4 nights Dwarka, Somnath and Diu package covers the main Saurashtra coast. For trips beyond the state, see Rajasthan taxi services.

Choosing a vehicle for a Gujarat trip

For two to four people on a short business or family trip, a Swift Dzire is economical. On a tour of several days, an Ertiga or Innova Crysta gives you more legroom and space for suitcases, which matters when you are in the car for hours each day. For groups, a 9 seater Winger, an 11 seater Tempo Traveller or a Toofan keeps everyone together and often works out cheaper per person than two cars. Premium cars are also available on request for weddings or corporate guests.

Seasons and festivals

October to March is the main touring season across the state, with comfortable weather for long drives and sightseeing. Summer, roughly April to June, is hot, especially in Kutch and north Gujarat, so start early and rest in the afternoon. The monsoon brings green landscapes to Saputara and the hills but can slow coastal and rural roads. Diwali holidays, Navratri, Janmashtami at Dwarka and Rann Utsav in Kutch are peak times, so book cars and rooms well ahead for those dates.
