Imagine a city where traffic laws are not enforced and there are too many vehicles? Now add some terrible roads into the mix and you"re coming close to picturing the New Delhi streets. It"s complete madness, especially during rush hour or when monsoon rains unload on the city. While you can self drive most rental companies will not allow it as they"ve had too much experience with vehicles being returned covered in dents.
The streets will look like madness to you. But your driver has been negotiating them for years, and has fine tuned the particular skills required. The cost of your car with driver will depend on both the quality of the car and the experience your driver has working with tourists.
As a capital city and major business hub there is a huge variety of different vehicles available for hire in New Delhi. Quotes from companies like Driver in Delhi, Car Rental Delhi, and Delhi Rentacar can be compared by using the form below. For old Tata or Maruti vehicles you can expect prices to start at around €25 a day. However, Delhi is one of the few places in India where you"ll see Mercedes, limousines, SUV"s and other luxury vehicles.
Prices for vehicles like this vary significantly, and go up to around €150 per day. High end cars are generally only available from specialist car rental companies who have drivers they trust to negotiate the roads without causing damage. For cheaper car with driver rentals you can also use a local travel agent, who will specialise in connecting one man operations with international tourists. Why a travel agent? Many of these car with driver operators aren"t big enough or technically savvy to have an internet or international profile, so they use agents to bring business. When hiring the cheap local vehicles it doesn"t cost any more than a specialist car rental company.
Your chauffeur is also your guide and you can expect all drivers in New Delhi to speak good English. When hiring a luxury or high end vehicle the driver will be at the top of his profession and you can expect excellent customer service and driving skills.
Cheaper vehicles can come with a range of drivers. It"s best to request a driver with a lot of tourist experience. These drivers know what tourists enjoy and can help plan an itinerary. They"ll also be full of stories and local knowledge. Better drivers cost more but it"s rarely more than €5-10 a day extra.
Drivers should be tipped for good service, and you should remind them about tipping if their customer service standards drop. A great way to thank your driver is to give others feedback on their service. By completing RentAutobus"s feedback questionnaire you"re signposting future customers to the best car rental services and drivers. Also give verbal feedback to the rental agency or travel agent. This helps them choose only the best drivers.
If there is a problem then you should speak directly to the rental company or agency. Either call them yourself or ask your driver to call them. If you are still unhappy with the service then ask for a new driver. The rental company or travel agency will almost always want to offer you an alternative than lose your business.
With your car with driver you"re mobile to visit all of New Delhi"s sights. You"ll have the ideas about what you want to see, and your chauffeur will help arrange the route to minimise driving time. Ask for his ideas. What did other tourists most enjoy? Where can you find an authentic meal? Which temple should you see that isn"t in the guidebook?
The Red Fort is New Delhi"s stand out attraction, a huge sandstone complex built in the 17th century. It"s one of the country"s best examples of Mughal architecture. Two other world heritage sights are also essential stops; the old Islamic Qutub complex from 1193 and the building which inspired the Taj Mahal, Hamayun"s Tomb.
Delhi has many suburbs which show off real local life. Ask your driver for recommendations and get immediately acquainted with local culture and customs. Try a masala chai, palak paneer, or mushroom pakora. Learn about monkey gods and gods with many faces. Hang out where the locals do. In new Delhi having a car with driver allows you to seek out the local experiences.
From Delhi the Taj Mahal is just a 3 hour drive. It"s a similar length drive to the Pink City of Jaipur. With a car with driver you can maximise your time and do a short tour of India"s famous golden triangle. Leaving Delhi in the morning you have time to reach Agra and experience the Taj Mahal in the afternoon and evening. After a sunrise session taking photos at the world"s most famous building, drive to Jaipur where you will have 24 hours exploring the sights. Remember your car with driver isn"t just taking you between cities, it"s taking you around the different attractions of each city. Return to Delhi that night and in 3 action packed days you"ve seen more than most people see in a 2 week holiday.
