Taxi Fares

Travel agencies would charge Rs. 4 per km for non AC cars and Rs. 5.50 per km, for AC cars, in which petrol and driver charge is included. I recommend following agency.

  • S.S. Travel and Tours
    Usha Kiran Palace,
    Gwalior
    Phone  : 2322636, 5071636
    Fax      : 2324035
Those with lighter pockets can find non AC taxies charging Rs. 3.50 - 4 per km, at railway station in the car parking area, opposite reservation office. Taxi operators will ask for unjustified rate but tell them that you know the real rate. After some negotiations they will agree.

If you wish to use taxi (Non AC) in the city itself, the charge is Rs. 400 for whole day subject to limitation of maximum 75 Kms.

Auto-Rickshaw Fares

All the fares and distances are from Railway Station. I have tried to cover all the important places of Gwalior, you may have to visit. If you want to roam around in the city for whole day, please consider taxi in lieu of auto-rickshaw because that would be economical.
