There are a few car rental companies available in hajipur.
Shared 'Tempo' as they are called are the easiest and cheapest way to get around in hajipur and its regions. However, in case you are trying to reserve an auto, it would be better to know the distance well in advance because that is not the preferred means of transportation for the locals and it would mean being charged exorbitant rates.
Though public transport is non existent there are a few buses plying on the main routes. Prices are generally 20-30% lesser than Tempos. However, they are less comfortable. However, after many trials throughout the decade, bsrtc runs multiple buses on all major routes inside and outside the city including neighbouring cities and satellite towns like Patna, Sonepur, Vaishali.Buses originate from the iconic gandhi maidan, and most of them visit the main railway station, Hajipur jn.
The BSTDC (Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation) offers deluxe bus/car rental services for the following destinations: Bodhgaya, Ranchi, Rajgir, Pawapuri, Nalanda & Vaishali.
