Shirdi temple is 3km away from railway station. Generally small auto will charge Rs.100 for 4-5 numbers. But big APE autos will charge upto 150 { for 8-9numbers }. If you are in group one can bargain for Rs.20 per head. Before boarding auto itself one should confirm about your dropping location in shirdi with this rent one can ask to drop at any hotel/location which you booked advance. Auto wala may misguide you regarding hotel location/prices. They will says that the hotel which you booked is not good/long from temple/price is high later they will take you to hotels where they will get commission.
If you want accomadation in Shirdi one can book advance through saibaba...
more... sanstan webiste where you will get room starting from Rs.200 to 1200. Rooms in Dwaravati baktinivas will be good & hygiene{ Rates starting from 500 } I fyou didnt get book room online then you can go for private hotels/guesthouses in shirdi.
If you want room in low budget one can go to Kotegalli/Chavadi area there room rent starting from 300 this area is very near to temple but little long from main road. One should go by walk.
Else one can go to Kankuri road/ Pimpalwadi road/Hedgevar nagar for good budget hotels range starting from 500. Ill prefer to stay in Kankuri road / Pimpalwadi road. Even in highway many hotels are there but there will be lot noice & disturbance will be there.
Go to any hotel directly you will get best rate... In Shirdi touts / autowala will misguide you be carefull...

After arrival of every train?
In Nov 2016, During deboarding 22456 at 2:00 no bus was there, also train is late for 4 hours. I observed buses during day time while boarding 22455 for return. After that never boarded/deboarded at SNSI.
In Nov 2016 even at 2:00AM, May be we are lucky that we got the auto for just Rupees 100 for 7 persons from SNSI to Bhakt Niwas.
1.Sai Baba temple :2Km
Hotels: After exiting station,walk short distance and take Auto/Taxi to any of the Lodges on this road(leads to Mandir)
2. Online booking of AC Non AC rooms/Sevas at Sansthan lodging complexes is also available and preferable.They are quite clean and safe

When i traveled back in 2005, i de-boarded at Nagarsol.
Even today, its better to do that.
One shocking news is that the auto'es are now charging 100/- from temple premises to station. No bargain.
Maybe you travelled by Ajanta Exp?
We(two) paid Rs 80 in Jan 2011.Steep increase.
Yes, this was in Aug 2013.
yes sire jee!! :-) but the day i traveled was a kinda hard one. :-(
the train got diverted via Nizambad line. but to our surprise, the train reached Nagarsol with less delay.
That day, the Maruti Omni fella charged 300 rs from Nagarsol til Shirdi's Tirupati Hotel, which is almost 5 mins walk from the temple.
Pure extortion of visitors by taxiwallahs.You could as well have walked:)
Anyway,Darshan is important.Hope had a satisfactory darshan
Edited sire je.. :-) from nagarsol station til the hotel in Shirdi.
Yes, we had excellent Darshan continuously fr 4 days. :-)
2nd day mostly, we hired a tour cab for Nasik, Trayambakeshar, Panchvati, Muktidham.
3rd day we shifted to Pushpanjali Hotel, which is just nearby this Tirupati Andhra Hotel.
on...
more... the 4th day, we boarded Ajanta Express back to SC.
Very nicely planned,Raam..So total charges of Rs300 is reasonable,I guess
Yep sire jee. the other taxi driver was charging 700 which was way too much. this guy settled for 4 of us n drove away to Shirdi just 45 mins.
This must be happening with 'permission' of Police and 'blessings' of Temple Trustees
