Pro Tips

Travel Tips for Road Trips from Amritsar

01

Start Early

Leave Amritsar by 5-6 AM for hill stations and long-distance destinations. This avoids city traffic and ensures you arrive with daylight.

02

Carry Essentials

Keep water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, medicines, and phone chargers handy. Our vehicles have charging ports but bring your own cable.

03

Check Weather

Hill station roads can be affected by rain and landslides (Jul-Sep). Plains destinations are best October to March. Summer means carry extra water.

04

Book in Advance

Weekend and holiday demand is high. Book your cab 2-3 days in advance for guaranteed availability, especially during festival seasons.

05

Plan Rest Stops

Our drivers know the best dhabas and rest stops on every route. 15-minute breaks every 2-3 hours keep the journey comfortable.

06

Keep Documents Ready

Carry valid ID proof for hotel check-ins and some destinations that require it (national parks, border areas). Original or Aadhaar card works.
