Ahmedabad to Udaipur by car: the route
Ahmedabad to Udaipur by car follows NH48 out of the city, through Himmatnagar and Shamlaji, then into Rajasthan and on to Udaipur. It is a good highway for most of the way, with plenty of places to stop for tea and food. Shamlaji is a natural break if you want to see the temple, and it sits roughly two hours into the drive.
Start early. The first two hours are the smoothest, and a morning departure gives you daylight to enjoy the ride and time to check in at your hotel without rushing.

The Ahmedabad to Udaipur taxi fare does not include toll, permit and border tax, and we confirm the final fare before the trip starts.

What is not in the fare
- Toll charges on the highway
- Rajasthan permit and border tax
- Your hotel, meals and entry tickets
- Any extra sightseeing distance you add on the way
We tell you what applies to your route before you travel, so there are no surprises at the end.
One way taxi Ahmedabad to Udaipur: when it makes sense
A one way taxi Ahmedabad to Udaipur works well when you are not coming back the same way. Maybe you are flying home from Udaipur, catching a train onward or spending a week in Rajasthan and returning on your own schedule. You pay for one leg, and you book the return when you know your date.
A sedan or an Ertiga can be booked one way in either direction. Hatchbacks are round trip only, and Innova bookings are billed as round trips.
If you are choosing between one way and round trip, the real question is whether you need the driver to stay with you. Our guide to one way taxi from Ahmedabad or round trip explains this in detail.
Nikol to Udaipur distance and other pickups
We are based in Nikol, and we pick up from anywhere in the city, including Naroda, Kathwada, Satellite, Bopal and the airport. The Nikol to Udaipur distance is close to the 260 km city figure, and the exact number depends on your pickup address and the road out of the city. Tell us where you are and we plan the timing around it.
Taxi, bus or self drive?
Five hours each way is a real drive. A taxi lets everyone in the family rest, look at the scenery and arrive fresh. If you drive yourself, you take on the fatigue of a long highway day, the return leg at the end of your holiday, and parking in the narrow lanes around the old city. With a driver who knows the route, you skip all three.
Which car should you pick?
- Couple or two friends: A sedan is comfortable and the most economical.
- Family of four with luggage: A sedan works if the bags are light. Otherwise, take the Ertiga.
- Five or six people: Ertiga.
- Seven people or a long stay: Innova.
- Ten or more: Talk to us about a Tempo Traveller.
Our guide to choosing between a sedan, an Ertiga and an Innova shows which car suits which group.
Questions to ask before you book an Ahmedabad to Udaipur cab
Whichever operator you use, ask these five things before you confirm.
- Is the fare for one way or a round trip?
- Are toll, permit and border tax included?
- Is the fare fixed, or can it change on the day?
- How much luggage will the car take?
- What happens if my plans change?
We answer all five when you message us, and the fare is confirmed before your trip starts.
Traveling with kids or elders
Five hours is a comfortable drive for most families if you plan the stops. Break the journey roughly every two hours, keep water and snacks within reach and let the youngest travelers sit by a window. If you are traveling with grandparents, start after breakfast rather than before dawn, and tell us so the pickup time suits them.
A three day Udaipur plan
Day one: Reach Udaipur by lunch. Walk through the old city, see the City Palace and take a boat ride on Lake Pichola at sunset.
Day two: Visit Saheliyon ki Bari and Fateh Sagar, then go up to the viewpoint at Sajjangarh in the evening. Spend the rest of the day at your own pace.
Day three: Have a slow morning, then drive back. Leave Udaipur by 2 pm and you reach Ahmedabad by night.
Best time to go
Udaipur is at its best from October to March, when days are warm and evenings are cool. Summers are hot, and the lakes look their fullest after the monsoon. If you can choose your dates, aim for a weekday. The old city is quieter, and hotels are easier to book.

The drive back
Most people leave Udaipur after lunch. If you go by 2 pm, you reach Ahmedabad by night. Tell us your checkout time and we plan the pickup. If you are staying for a few days, book the return when you know your date.
Good to know before you go
- Border tax is separate. Udaipur is in Rajasthan, so the inter-state tax is charged on top of the fare.
- Add Mount Abu if you have a spare day. It sits on a similar road. We can build a multi stop route, and you can see Ahmedabad to Mount Abu taxi for the details.
- Tell us about luggage. A family of four with big suitcases fits better in an Ertiga.
- Share the hotel name. It helps the driver plan the last stretch into the old city.
