Car Rental in Aurangabad — Ajanta, Ellora & Shirdi Caves Circuit Made Easy

This covers the full day, both cave sites, and the Daulatabad Fort stop if you leave by 7 AM.

Yes, but you must leave Aurangabad by 7 AM. Take NH52 via the Fardapur road to Ajanta (100 km, 2 hrs), spend 2-3 hours there, then drive back to Ellora (Cave 16 Kailash Temple needs at least 90 minutes) before the 5:30 PM entry cut-off.

Take NH160 via Vaijapur and Kopargaon — it's 115 km and takes about 2 hours in a sedan. Our drivers know the parking near the Sai Baba temple, which fills up fast on Thursdays and weekends.

Yes. Aurangabad Airport is only 10 km from the city centre, and we track flight delays from Mumbai and Delhi. A driver will wait at arrivals with a name placard — no extra charge for delays up to 90 minutes.

The Ellora Road (30 km, 45 min) is well-paved, so a hatchback like a Swift is perfectly fine for a couple. But if you're combining Ellora with Daulatabad Fort and carrying 5+ people, an Ertiga or Innova gives you the boot space and comfort for the full day.

Pune is 240 km via NH65 and takes about 4 hours; Mumbai is 335 km via NH160 and NH3, roughly 5-5.5 hours depending on traffic near Kalyan and Thane. We recommend an early 6 AM departure to avoid Pune's Katraj bypass congestion.

Yes, for outstation trips to Shirdi, Nashik, Pune, and Mumbai, our quotes include tolls, state permits, and driver bata. You only pay for fuel if you choose a per-km package instead of the flat day rate.

Absolutely. For larger groups, we arrange 17-seaters — book at least 3 days ahead during Shirdi's Thursday and festival rush.

Yes, one-way drops are available to Mumbai (335 km) and Pune (240 km). One-way pricing is typically 70-80% of the round-trip rate, and we handle the return permit so you're not charged for the driver's empty return.

For chauffeur-driven rentals, you only need a valid ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence). For self-drive, you need a valid Indian driving licence, Aadhaar, and a security deposit — note that self-drive availability in Aurangabad is limited compared to metros.
