1. Not Checking Taxi Provider Reviews
One of the biggest mistakes travelers make is booking a taxi without checking online reviews or ratings. Many passengers opt for the cheapest available option without verifying the quality of the service. Consequently, they encounter problems later during their tour—whether it involves issues with the driver, the vehicle, or something else entirely.

👉 Always check:
- GMB reviews

- Website testimonials

2. Ignoring Fare Transparency
Many tourists do not confirm the total fare before booking. This could lead to hidden charges later. Whenever you book a cab, taxi, driver, or tour, always inquire about the total price upfront. Furthermore, confirm in advance whether the quoted rate includes per-kilometer charges, driver allowances, toll taxes, and parking fees; this ensures you do not face any issues with extra hidden charges later. Jodhana Taxi Services always discloses all these details to you beforehand; we operate on fixed rates and never impose hidden charges. We constantly strive to provide cab services at the best possible rates; our fares are the lowest in Jodhpur, while our service remains of the highest standard. We never give our customers any cause for dissatisfaction, as we firmly believe in the principle of *Atithi Devo Bhava*—”The Guest is God.”
👉 Always ask:
- Per km rate or fixed price
- Toll tax & parking included or not
- Driver allowance
A professional taxi provider will always give clear, upfront pricing.
3. Booking at the Last Minute
When you make a last-minute booking, you often encounter numerous issues. For instance, you may not be able to secure the specific vehicle of your choice; and even if you do find one, it is typically available at a higher price. If you require a luxury vehicle, the difficulties are compounded further, as such cars become significantly more expensive when booked at the last moment. Furthermore, you end up having to pay additional transportation costs because you failed to book a cab in advance for your adventure. Therefore, for any tour or event, it is always advisable to make your booking at least one month in advance; this ensures that you can rent the car of your preference—at a lower rate—and book a vehicle that perfectly aligns with your specific requirements.
Last-minute bookings often lead to:
- Higher prices
- Limited vehicle options
- Delays
👉 Tip: Always book your taxi in advance, especially during peak tourist season (October–March).
4. Not Choosing the Right Vehicle




When tourists travel with their families, the most common mistake they make is booking a sedan. This often leads to difficulties, as it prevents them from traveling comfortably with their family and leaves insufficient space for all their luggage. Therefore, you should always book a cab that is appropriate for the size of your group to avoid any issues later on. For instance, if you are a group of 2 to 4 people, always book a sedan; if you are 5 to 7 people, book an SUV or MUV; and for larger groups, always book a Tempo Traveller—which is ideal for 8 to 20 people. Finally, if your group is very large, booking a bus is the best option for 20 to 50 people.
Choose wisely:
- Sedan Car: Toyota Glanza, Toyota Camry, Honda Amaze, Honda City, Swift Dzire, Etios And ETC.
- SUV & MUV: Kia Carens, Innova Crysta, Toyota Hycross, Toyota Fortuner, Ertiga And ETC.
- Tempo Traveller: Maharaja Tempo Traveller, Urabania Van, 10 Seater, 13 Seater, 17 Seater, 21 Seater Tempo Traveller And ETC.
- Buses: Mini Bus, 27 Seater, 35 Seater, 42 Seater, 45 Seater, 50 Seater, 55 Seater, Luxury Vovlo, deluxe bus, Ac Bus, Non Ac Bus, And ETC.
The right vehicle ensures a comfortable and hassle-free journey.
5. Ignoring Local Knowledge of Drivers
A driver who is not familiar with the local routes can turn a good trip into a bad experience, like you are stuck in a traffic jam and the driver who does not have local knowledge wastes the time of your important trip in unnecessary traffic jams. If there is a local driver, then no one will take the vehicle out of the way and will not let your tour’s expiry get spoilt, so while confirming the tour, always ask for a driver with local knowledge, at Jodhana Taxi Services, our drivers are well aware of the best sightseeing places and local attractions of Jodhpur. They can take you to the city’s most popular tourist destinations as well as its “hidden gems”—those secret treasures you may not have discovered yet. Who knows? You may get the opportunity to explore these hidden gems. Book a car rental with driver in Rajasthan today!

6. Choosing Only Based on Price
Booking a taxi at the lowest price is not always the best option; sometimes, in pursuit of lower rates, you risk ruining your entire travel experience. For instance, opting for the cheapest fare might result in being assigned a dirty, poorly maintained vehicle driven by an inexperienced chauffeur. This not only spoils your trip but also puts your personal safety at risk. Therefore, always request details regarding the driver and the cab—including photographs—in advance. At Jodhana Taxi Services, we consistently provide the cleanest vehicles and the most experienced drivers, all at competitive rates. Furthermore, we take great care to ensure that you do not encounter even the slightest inconvenience throughout your journey; our services are available to you 24/7.
