Short answer: A taxi from Raja Bhoj Airport to central Bhopal covers roughly 12 to 18 km and takes 25 to 50 minutes depending on where in the city you are going. Fares are quoted as a fixed point-to-point amount by area rather than by meter, so you know the number before the vehicle is dispatched.

Distance and fare by area
Bairagarh and the Airport Road belt are the closest at 5 to 8 km. New Market and Bhopal Junction sit around 11 to 14 km. MP Nagar, Habibganj and Rani Kamlapati are roughly 14 to 18 km. Arera Colony and Shahpura are similar. Kolar Road and the Hoshangabad Road corridor run 22 to 28 km, and Mandideep is a 35 to 42 km run. Because the fare is fixed by area rather than metered, traffic on the day does not change what you pay. That matters most on the Kolar and Hoshangabad Road runs, which are the ones most affected by evening congestion.What is included and what is extra
The airport transfer fare includes the vehicle, fuel, driver and airport parking for a normal pickup. It does not include extended waiting beyond the free window, additional stops on the way, or toll if your destination is outside the city limits. There is no surge pricing at any hour — a 4:00 am departure is quoted the same as a 4:00 pm one, though a night charge may apply for very late city trips.Arrivals: how the pickup works
Give us your flight number at booking. We track the arrival and adjust the driver's reporting time if the flight is delayed, so you are not paying for waiting that was not your fault. The driver waits at the designated taxi bay outside the arrival hall with a name board, and we send his name, photo and vehicle number to your phone before you land.Why Book With Krishna Travels
