Navratri Vaishno Devi — 11–20 Oct, Dussehra 20 Oct — Katra cabs at fixed fares — Book Navratri cab
A dedicated vehicle and a professional driver for 30 days, from ₹35,000 a month with 2,500 km and 8 hours a day included.
Short answer
A car with a driver for a month in Varanasi starts at ₹35,000 for a sedan and runs to ₹60,000 for an Innova Crysta. Every rate covers 30 days with one dedicated vehicle and the same driver throughout, 2,500 km and 8 hours a day included — about 83 km a day, or roughly ₹14.0 per included kilometre on the sedan. Fuel, the driver and GST are in the rate.
Kilometres beyond the included allowance and hours beyond eight a day are charged at the published extra rate. Tolls, parking, state permits and the driver night allowance are at actuals. One vehicle and one driver for the full month, not a rotating fleet.
The same published monthly package applies in every city we serve. Each rate covers 30 days with one dedicated vehicle and driver, 2,500 km and 8 hours a day.

The rate is the same everywhere. What differs is how a car actually gets used here.
Pilgrimage and tour operators running continuous groups, who need a vehicle that is simply always there rather than booked per trip. Beyond that: the university and research community at BHU on long postings, the silk weaving and export trade, documentary and film crews — Varanasi is filmed more or less constantly — and long-stay foreign visitors who find the traffic unmanageable without a driver.
Varanasi usage is unusual: very low daily distance, very high daily hours. A day might cover 35 km while the car is in use for ten, because the ghats, the Vishwanath corridor and Sarnath are close together and the traffic is slow. So the 2,500 km is rarely the constraint here — the eight-hour daily allowance is the one to watch, and extra hours are charged at the published rate.
The ghats and the old city lanes are not driveable at all; the car works from Godowlia, Dashashwamedh road or Assi and the rest is walked. Sarnath is 10 km north, BHU 7 km south, and the airport 25 km out at Babatpur. The Ganga is a hard boundary, so a Ramnagar crossing adds real distance.
A sedan is genuinely the better vehicle in Varanasi, which is the opposite of most cities on this list. The lanes and approach roads are tight and a smaller car reaches closer to where you actually want to be. Take an Ertiga or Innova only when the group size demands it.
October to March is the main season, with Dev Deepawali in November the single busiest week of the year. Shivratri and the summer months also draw pilgrim volume. During a major festival the old-city approach roads are closed to vehicles for days at a time, which changes where the car can reach rather than whether it is available.

Yes. A monthly hire is one vehicle and one driver for the full 30 days rather than a rotating fleet, which is most of the reason people take a month rather than booking day by day — the driver learns the routes, the timings and the access arrangements in Varanasi. If the driver needs a rest day or falls ill we provide a replacement for that period and tell you in advance wherever possible.
Tell us the dates, the vehicle and roughly how far you expect to travel each day. We confirm the car, the driver and the monthly rate before it starts, and there is no advance payment.
