One Way vs Round Trip — Which Is Better?
The decision comes down to how you plan to return from Agra.
If you're visiting Agra for a day and returning to Delhi in the same cab a round trip with waiting time is more cost-effective. The driver waits in Agra for 6 to 8 hours as you explore the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and other attractions, then takes you back. Round trip Dzire begins from Rs. 4,200 notably lower than the cost of two separate one-way bookings.
If you are heading back to Delhi by train, traveling from Agra by air, or proceeding to Jaipur a real one-way taxi is available for Rs. 2,200 is the correct option. NCR Cabs does not charge a return trip fee you are only charged for the direction of your journey.

Departing from Delhi before 7 AM avoids exit traffic and gets you to Agra by 10 to 10:30 AM — the best time to visit the Taj Mahal before midday crowds and heat build up.
