For Nepalese travelers exploring India’s vast and diverse regions, hiring a private car with a driver is one of the safest, most convenient, and flexible ways to travel—especially if you're visiting multiple cities or traveling with family.


🚗 Why Hire a Car & Driver in India?

  • Comfort & Flexibility: Stop at your pace, visit offbeat sites, and avoid public transport hassles.

  • Local Knowledge: Drivers often double as informal guides, helping with language, directions, and even food recommendations.

  • Safe for First-Time Visitors: Especially useful in crowded cities or long intercity journeys.


📋 What to Know Before Booking

  1. Book with Reputed Travel Agencies: Choose well-reviewed companies (like India Taxi Online, Savaari, or MakeMyTrip) or local operators with verified licenses.

  2. Choose the Right Vehicle:

    • Sedan: For 2–3 people

    • SUV (like Innova): For 4–6 people

    • Tempo Traveller or Van: For groups/families

  3. Inclusions: Ensure your quoted rate includes driver allowance, fuel, tolls, parking, and state tax to avoid surprises.

  4. Confirm Documents: The car should have a valid commercial license and the driver must carry ID, driving license, and insurance papers.

  5. Check for Language Comfort: Request a Hindi- or English-speaking driver if needed.


💡 Travel Tips for Nepalese Tourists

  • Carry ID: Your Nepali citizenship card or passport will be required at hotel check-ins and state borders.

  • Negotiate in Advance: Always clarify the total cost and hours/km limits before starting.

  • Tip Respectfully: While not mandatory, tipping ₹100–300/day is appreciated for good service.


Whether you're heading to Rajasthan’s forts, Kerala’s beaches, or spiritual sites in Uttar Pradesh, a car with driver offers Nepalese visitors ease, safety, and a personalized Indian travel experience.
