Is it safe to self-drive in India?

Self-driving in India is challenging even for experienced drivers. Indian roads have unique traffic patterns, honking culture, unmarked speed bumps, animals on highways, and varying road quality. For tourists and first-time visitors, we strongly recommend a chauffeur-driven car. Experienced Indian drivers may enjoy self-drive for short city trips.

Which is cheaper -- self-drive or chauffeur?

For outstation trips, chauffeur-driven is often cheaper when you total all costs. Self-drive: ₹2,000/day rental + ₹8-12/km fuel + tolls + parking + ₹10,000 deposit = ₹4,000-5,000/day. Chauffeur: ₹11-16/km all-inclusive = ₹2,750-4,000/day for 250km. Plus you avoid driving fatigue.

Can international tourists self-drive in India?

Technically yes, with an International Driving Permit (IDP). However, we strongly advise against it. Indian traffic rules, road conditions, and driving culture are very different from Western countries. Over 95% of international tourists in India choose chauffeur-driven cars. Our drivers speak English and serve as informal guides.

Do I need to arrange accommodation for the chauffeur?

For single-day trips, no arrangements are needed. For multi-day trips, the driver arranges their own accommodation (usually near the hotel). Most hotels in tourist areas have free or low-cost driver rooms. A driver allowance of ₹300-500/night covers their meals and stay.

What if I want privacy during the trip?

Our drivers are professionally trained to maintain privacy. They wait at the car during your sightseeing, meals, and hotel stays. For long drives, many chauffeur cars have a partition option. If you need complete privacy, self-drive is available for local city drives, but we recommend chauffeur for any trip over 100km.

Can I drive the car myself partway on a chauffeur trip?

No, for insurance and safety reasons, only the assigned driver operates the vehicle on chauffeur bookings. If you want the driving experience with backup support, book a self-drive car for local city exploration and a chauffeur car for outstation legs. We can arrange both as a package.

Our Verdict

For outstation trips, hill stations, and tourist travel in India, chauffeur-driven cars are strongly recommended. Indian roads require local knowledge, and a professional driver handles traffic, navigation, and vehicle management while you enjoy the trip. Self-drive only makes sense for short local drives in familiar cities or when complete privacy is essential.
