At a glance
What you get on the run from Delhi airport to Agra
Agra is about 230 km from Delhi’s Terminal 3 by the Yamuna Expressway, and the first 55 km or so are spent crossing south Delhi and Noida to reach the start of the expressway in Greater Noida. Universal Airport Transfer quotes the whole run as a single transfer, priced on the route and your Agra address, with the flight tracked and a full quote before you pay. One thing to plan around: the Taj Mahal is closed to general visitors every Friday.
- Your chauffeur waits 30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time.
- A full quote before you pay, usually within two hours, reflecting distance, vehicle class, add-ons and any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges.
- Pay online by secure payment link or bank transfer, and your booking is confirmed once paid. Expressway tolls on your route are either included in the quote or shown in it as an additional charge, and waiting beyond the included time may carry a charge.
- Changes and cancellations up to 48 hours before your flight under the standard policy, less any costs already incurred; a few airports and services differ.
- Three classes of service, each available as a sedan, SUV or van.
- About 230 km from Terminal 3 to Agra by the Yamuna Expressway, booked as a single transfer, terminal to door.

What your quote depends on
Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
Where in Agra you are staying
Addresses near the Taj Mahal, around Agra Cantt station and close to Agra Fort are all roughly 228 to 234 km from Terminal 3 by the expressway. An address outside the city, such as Fatehpur Sikri, can change both the distance and the road taken, so the full address matters, not just “Agra”.
The road and its tolls
The Yamuna Expressway is a toll road. Any toll on your car’s route is either included in your quote or itemised in it as an additional charge, and none is added unexpectedly once you have booked.
Bags for a long drive
The vehicle type follows your party and luggage, in whichever class you choose. As a guide, a sedan takes about 1 to 3 passengers with 2 or 3 bags, an SUV about 1 to 4 with 4 or 5, and a van about 5 to 7 with 6 to 8; the desk confirms the vehicle when it sends the quote.
When you land
Landing late at night, travelling on a public holiday or booking at short notice can each add a charge, and the quote shows it before you pay.
The journey
From Terminal 3 to Agra, stage by stage
What happens between your flight reaching Delhi and the car stopping at your Agra address, in the order you meet it.
-
01
Before you fly
Put your flight number in the request. The quote needs it, and it lets the flight be tracked, so the pickup follows its actual arrival time. Foreign nationals and OCI cardholders can file India’s e-Arrival card online within 72 hours before they arrive; the Bureau of Immigration’s website explains how.
-
02
Terminal 3 and your chauffeur
After immigration, the baggage hall and customs, you walk out on to the arrivals level, the lower of T3’s two. Before pickup, your chauffeur’s name and number come to you on WhatsApp or by email, and the desk says where to meet: at the kerb as standard, or inside arrivals with a name board if you add Meet and greet, which comes with every First Class booking. Immigration and the baggage hall count against the 30 minutes of waiting, which start at your flight’s actual arrival time.
-
03
Across Delhi to the expressway
A common way out is the Mehrauli–Badarpur Road towards Okhla, then the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway to Zero Point in Greater Noida, where the Yamuna Expressway begins, about 55 km from T3. This part is city driving, and its pace depends on the time of day.
-
04
The Yamuna Expressway
Six lanes and access-controlled, the expressway covers about 165 km between Greater Noida and the outskirts of Agra, and has been open since 2012. It passes Jewar, where Noida International Airport now stands. The limit for cars is 100 km/h, lowered to 75 km/h in recent winters between mid-December and mid-February because of fog.
-
05
Into Agra
The expressway ends at Kuberpur, and city roads take you on to your hotel or home. Heading for the Taj Mahal first? Petrol and diesel cars may not go within 500 m of it, so the drop-off is normally one of its parking areas, such as Shilpgram by the Eastern Gate or the Western Gate parking, where battery buses and golf carts carry visitors on.
Distance, time and the Taj Mahal’s week
Distance
About 230 km from Terminal 3 by the Yamuna Expressway. The other road, NH-44 through Faridabad, Palwal and Mathura, is about 215 km on the map.
Time
The Agra district administration describes the drive from Delhi as commonly about four to five hours, depending on traffic and the hour you set off.
Fridays
The Taj Mahal is closed to general visitors every Friday, when its mosque opens only for prayers. Agra Fort, 2.5 km away, is open all seven days. Night viewing at the Taj, on five nights around each full moon, skips Fridays and the month of Ramzan too.
Landing at Noida International (DXN)?
This separate airport at Jewar, in Uttar Pradesh, has had commercial flights since 15 June 2026 and is reached from the Yamuna Expressway, about 145 km by road from the Taj. If DXN is on your ticket, say so, and the transfer is quoted from there.
Give the full Agra address when you ask for a quote, and say if your first stop is the Taj Mahal rather than a hotel. Hoping to see the Taj at sunrise? Its gates open 30 minutes before the sun comes up, which usually means a night in Agra before the visit.
In and around Agra
Agra addresses, and the trip beyond
Road distances from Terminal 3, measured by map routing on 1 October 2026. The drive from the airport to any of these is quoted as a single transfer; a later run, once you are in Agra, is a booking of its own.
Agra Cantt
About 234 km. Agra Cantt is the city’s main railway station, west of the Taj, which makes it a handy base for a trip that carries on by train.
Mathura and Vrindavan
Both are about 150 km from T3 by NH-44 through Faridabad and Palwal, and an address there is quoted as a single transfer in its own right.
Fatehpur Sikri
The Mughal city lies 36 to 40 km west of Agra on NH-21 and is open every day. From an Agra base it suits a car held by the hour, with a 2-hour minimum and an additional charge for travel outside the booked city.
On to Jaipur
About 240 km from Agra on NH-21, a road that passes within a couple of kilometres of Fatehpur Sikri. It is a point-to-point run with a quote of its own.
Agra to Delhi airport
For the flight out, a single transfer from your Agra hotel to the terminal, timed back from check-in with room for traffic and the drop-off. The chauffeur’s 15 minutes of waiting at your hotel count from the scheduled pickup time.
DEL
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)
The airport is at Palam, in the south-west of Delhi, while Agra lies to the south-east, so a run to Agra starts by crossing the southern half of the city. Arriving from abroad, you clear immigration and customs at Terminal 3; on a domestic flight you may land at T1, T2 or T3, with no immigration to pass.
Terminals Three terminals. Every international flight arrives at T3, which also takes some domestic flights; T1 and T2 are domestic only. With the request, include the flight number and the terminal shown on your booking.

Questions
Questions about Delhi airport to Agra
How far are Agra and the Taj Mahal from Delhi airport?
About 230 km from Terminal 3 to the Taj Mahal and central Agra by the Yamuna Expressway: some 55 km across south Delhi and Noida to its start in Greater Noida, then 165 km of expressway and a short run into the city. NH-44, which goes through Faridabad, Palwal and Mathura, comes to about 215 km.
How long does the drive from Delhi airport to Agra take?
Commonly about four to five hours, which is how the Agra district administration describes the trip from Delhi, depending on traffic and the time of day. Winter fog can slow the expressway too, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
Is the Taj Mahal open on Fridays?
No. It is closed to general visitors every Friday, and the mosque inside opens only for Friday prayers. On the other six days it opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes before sunset. If you land on a Thursday evening or a Friday, start with Agra Fort, which opens every day.
Can I go straight from Delhi airport to the Taj Mahal?
Yes, on any day but Friday, if you reach Agra with time to spare: the Taj closes 30 minutes before sunset, and its official site says the ticket windows shut 45 minutes before sunset and directs visitors to buy tickets online. Petrol and diesel cars are kept 500 m from the monument, so you leave the car at a parking area and go on by battery bus or golf cart. Visitors must carry identity proof issued by a government, such as a passport. The official site lists cloak rooms at both gates, but with suitcases the hotel first is simpler; if the car is to wait while you visit, add an Extra stop and say so in the request, and any waiting charge is made clear before it applies.
Are the Yamuna Expressway tolls included?
The expressway is a toll road. Whatever tolls your route meets are either part of the quote or itemised in it as an additional charge, and you see them before paying.
Can I book a car from Agra to Delhi airport for my flight?
Yes, quoted as a single transfer to the airport. Send the flight number and your Agra address, and the pickup is timed back from your check-in, allowing for the expressway, the city traffic and the drop-off at the terminal. Every international departure from Delhi leaves from T3.
Can I take a train or bus from Delhi airport to Agra?
Not straight from the terminal. Trains for Agra Cantt leave from Delhi’s city stations, among them New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin; the Airport Express metro line runs from Terminal 3 to New Delhi railway station, and from there you wait for a train with your bags. The intercity buses the airport lists from its Public Transportation Centre go to Punjab and Haryana, not Agra, and buses from Delhi arrive at Agra’s Idgah Bus Stand or its ISBT, about 8 km and 12 km from the Taj. A car from the terminal goes straight to your Agra address, which counts for most with luggage, children or a late arrival.
How far is Noida International Airport (Jewar) from Agra?
About 145 km by road to the Taj Mahal, by the Yamuna Expressway. Noida International (DXN) is not Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International but a different airport, at Jewar on the Agra side of Delhi. Tell the desk which airport is on your ticket, and the quote is made from the right one.
What is the taxi fare from Delhi airport to Agra?
There is no published fare: each journey is quoted on its own, on distance, vehicle class, add-ons and any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges. Send the flight number, which the quote needs, and the full Agra address; a quote usually follows within two hours, and you pay nothing before you accept it.
