you can get a normal sedan (toyota) for 186$
premium for 467$ (E-Class Mercedes) or first class for 1071$ (S-Class Mercedes). The amounts include tax already.
meanwhile Amanbagh just offers a BMW X5 for their 1100$ (pre-tax)
Indeed. Normally I'd be more than happy to pay for hotel transfer but $1100 seems like a pure money grab. Oberoi Vanjavilas transfer price is almost half of Aman-i-khas, and they even offered an external contractor at 1/4th the price. Not take I will take it since I won't be staying there, but that is good customer service. Together with the other reviews here saying that they like to upsell dining excursions etc, and the recent wave of bad reviews on tripadvisor, it doesn't exactly give me the encouragement to commit 4 nights there. I love the good Amans but IME not every Aman is well managed and I don't have the urge to stick to only Aman. The Alila Fort Bawara looks very nice but unfortunately is already sold out for the dates I'm looking at, maybe I can consider Oberoi Rajvilas instead?
something like 2n Oberoi Delhi, 2n Oberoi Amarvilas, 3n Oberoi Rajvilas
