Chandigarh · with a driver

Car rental with a driver in Chandigarh.

Airport runs, Delhi and back in a day, and the long road to Shimla, Manali or Spiti. Our driver, our car, and a fare agreed before you get in. The same 27+ cars we rent self-drive, with someone else at the wheel.

Where we drive

The routes we run most often.

Distances and drive times are ours, measured on the road rather than copied from a map. Fares depend on the car, the season and whether you want the driver to wait, so we quote the exact number before you book instead of publishing one that turns out to be wrong.

How the fare is worked out

What changes the price of a trip.

Five things, and no others. Ask us for a route and we will tell you the number with each of these already counted in, so nothing is added at the end.

The car
Sedan to DefenderA Swift to Shimla and a Fortuner to Shimla are not the same trip. Pick from the same 27+ cars we rent self-drive.
One way or return
Both are pricedA one-way drop costs less than a round trip, but the driver still has to come back — that is in the number, and we say so.
How many days
Per day, not per hourMulti-day trips include the driver’s time on the road and his overnight stay.
Tolls and state taxes
Not in the base farePunjab, Haryana and Himachal all charge their own. We list them separately so you can see them.
Fuel
Included with a driverUnlike self-drive, a chauffeured trip is quoted with fuel in it.
Waiting
Tell us up frontA wedding or a day of meetings is priced differently from a drop. Say so when you ask and the quote covers it.
Which one you want

Should you drive it yourself?

Most people who ring us already know. If you do not, the honest split is this.

Take a driver if
It’s the hillsShimla, Manali and anything past Kaza are long days on roads you may not know. A driver who runs them weekly is worth the difference.
Take a driver if
It’s a wedding or a work dayNobody wants to park a Fortuner in a baraat, or find parking between meetings.
Take a driver if
It’s one wayDelhi and back in a day is nine hours of driving. One way with a driver is a nap.
Drive it yourself if
You want the car for daysA week in the hills on your own schedule is cheaper and better self-drive. See the self-drive fleet.
Drive it yourself if
You want it by the monthLong stays are far cheaper without a driver. See monthly car rental.
Either way
Same carsEvery car on this page is one of the 27+ in our fleet, not a different pool.
FAQ

Common questions about hiring a driver.

How much is a taxi from Chandigarh to Delhi?
It depends on the car and whether you want one way or a return, so we quote it rather than publish one number that is wrong for most people. Message us the date and how many of you there are and you will have the fare in minutes. The drive is 245 km, about four and a half hours.
Is there a security deposit with a driver?
No. The deposit applies to self-drive rentals, where you are responsible for the car. With our driver, our driver is responsible for it.
Do you do one-way drops?
Yes, to Delhi, Shimla, Manali, Amritsar and most places in between. A one-way costs less than a return, but not half — the car and driver still have to come home, and that is in the quote.
Can the driver stay with us for the whole trip?
Yes. Multi-day trips are quoted per day with the driver’s time and his overnight stay included. Tell us the dates and the route when you ask.
Which car should we take to Manali?
An automatic SUV. The road is long and the last stretch is slow, and an automatic makes a real difference over eight hours. For Spiti it has to be a 4×4 — the Thar, Hilux, Rubicon or Defender.
Are tolls and taxes included?
They are quoted separately so you can see them. Punjab, Haryana and Himachal each charge their own on an outstation run, and hiding them in one number is how people end up arguing at the end of a trip.
What about a bigger group?
Past seven seats you want a tempo traveller. They come with a driver as standard and seat nine and up.
Do you pick up from the airport?
Yes, and we meet the flight rather than the scheduled time. See Chandigarh airport pickups.
