Getting around Kanpur
There are several ways to move around Kanpur, each with strengths and shortcomings; below are common options compared with GetTransfer.
Public Transport in Kanpur
Local buses and shared autos cover most routes across Kanpur and are extremely cheap, with typical fares from INR 10 to INR 40 depending on distance and whether you board a city bus or a shared auto. Buses can be slow, crowded at peak hours, and schedules are not always reliable, especially for tourists unfamiliar with stops and routes. For short intra-city hops they work if you are on a tight budget, but luggage, comfort, and exact pick-up points remain problematic.
Car Rentals in Kanpur
Self-drive options and rental cars start from about INR 1,200 per day for compact models and rise for larger cars or long-term hires. Rentals grant freedom but impose extra responsibilities: navigating congested streets, paying fuel and parking, and managing local traffic rules. For visitors who prefer not to drive, rentals quickly become expensive once you add insurance, fuel, and unexpected city fines.
Taxi in Kanpur
Local street taxis and app-based cabs typically charge from INR 150 to INR 400 for common intra-city trips, depending on distance, time of day, and demand. Street taxis can be convenient for short trips, but availability fluctuates and drivers sometimes negotiate fares in cash. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Kanpur and stands out by letting you book in advance, choose your vehicle and driver profile, and see the exact fare before the ride. The service combines the immediacy of a traditional cab with the predictability of a prearranged transfer, avoiding surprise price hikes and offering options from cheap sedans to private seater vans and limousine-class cars. Many travellers appreciate that GetTransfer shows car type, seat count, and driver license verification up front, making it easier to plan airport meets, city tours, or late-night rides.
Transfers from Kanpur

Kanpur rides
Day trips to nearby towns and short excursions are common requests; for example, a one-way ride to nearby industrial suburbs or riverfront destinations often costs less when booked in advance. GetTransfer lists local drivers who accept rides of 30–100 km and sets clear fares so you know how much to budget. These rides are handled by professionals who understand regional roads, tolls, and realistic travel times.
Kanpur transfers

GetTransfer maintains a large database of professional drivers whose accounts undergo verification, so you can choose someone who fits your schedule and needs.
Scenic Views Along Routes
Routes radiating from Kanpur offer a pleasant mix of urban and rural scenery. Heading east toward the Ganges river, passengers often enjoy stretches of tree-lined boulevards, river views, and temples tucked between market towns. Travelling north and west reveals agricultural plains dotted with sugarcane fields and small villages where local life proceeds at a gentle pace. On longer transfers, the drive can be as rewarding as the destination, with occasional roadside stalls serving chai and snacks that make for memorable stops.
