India is one of the most rewarding countries in the world to visit, but for many first-time visitors its roads can seem intimidating. For the foreign visitors, self-driving on unfamiliar busy roads with strange road signs will be really hard. That is why hiring a car with drivers has emerged as the simplest, safest and most convenient option for the foreign visitors to discover India at their own pace.
The hassle of travelling disappears when renting a car with a driver. You dont need an Indian driving liscence, you dont have to get your head around the local traffic and are never bothered about parking or tolls or how do I navigate through a new city. You relax, take in the scenery, and let a local expert do the driving. This one choice can completely change a trip for the foreign traveler.
The major advantage of hiring a car rental in India is freedom. A private car does not operate on the same timeframe as trains or a fixed tour bus would. You can go at your own pace, stop wherever you please to take some snaps, grab a tea or visit a temple that you passed by on the roadside and discover places beyond the standard tourists trail. The type of travel that leaves you with memories and ensures a more flexible personalised journey through India
Another reason why foreign travelers like chauffeur driven cars is comfort, and especially over long distances. Pick up all international visitors, however, did you know that some of India's most popular routes consist of one or two nights in your vehicle for hours on end; like the Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) or those long haul journeys right across Rajasthan. These long drives turn out to be a respite rather than exhausting when you have a clean, air-conditioned car, comfortable seating and space for your baggage.
There is also a vehicle for all types of trip. If you are a couple or have no more than two people travelling together, expect to get a small and frugal sedan car like the Suzuki Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios as your cab, or for families, a Toyota Innova. For larger groups and small tours, there is a 9-seater Tempo Traveler or a Force Urbania with enough space for 14 – 16 passengers. No matter the size of your group, get the vehicle you need all with a professional driver included on our car hire page.
The driver is often the face of the experience for foreign tourists They are familiar with all the roads, shortcuts, places to stop and have enough English knowledge to communicate easily! For many travellers, their driver turns into something of an unofficial local guide who spews forth recommendations on food, culture and other less ‘tourist trail’ nuggets that you would never detect from a dust-covered guidebook. It warms up your journey with a personal touch.
This service really makes arriving in a new country WAY less stressful as they will pick you up from the airport and drop you to your door After an exhausting international flight, with no negotiating taxis, you can immediately get off the plane and meet your car, and driver where your were dropped off after clearing customs. Whether it is a single airport transfer or a multiday road trip in the north, your travel arrangements within India have already been dealt with right from that first moment.

And rounding out the experience is safety and support. Passengers are taken care of by well kept, serviced vehicles, experienced professional drivers who know where they are going and assistance is available to help change plans or extend the trip on the way. That kind of peace of mind is priceless for a visitor who is far fom home.
A longer jaunt is also well-suited to a chauffeur-driven car. Numerous international tourists team a comfy automobile for urban expedition and members of the family with an assisted motorcycle excursion or holiday package deal for the extras daring parts in their tour. This is an effortless way to experience the best of both worlds throughout India and Nepal.
