Q: Is the driver available in the evenings?

Q: What if we exceed the 200 km per day allowance?

Q: What about tips for the driver?
A: Tipping is not included and is entirely at your discretion. If you are satisfied with the service, a tip at the end of the journey is appreciated but never expected.

A: Yes, all our vehicles are fully insured as required by Indian law. Your driver holds all necessary permits and licenses to drive international tourists.

Q: What happens in case of a medical emergency?
A: Your driver will assist you in reaching the nearest reputable hospital immediately. We also strongly recommend that you carry comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies.

Q: Do we need to hire guides at each monument?
A: While your driver provides excellent general information, hiring licensed local guides at major monuments enhances the experience with deeper historical and cultural context. We can arrange guides on request.

A: Absolutely! Your driver knows the best and most reliable shops in each city—from government-approved emporiums to local artisan workshops—and can advise on fair prices and authenticity.

Q: Do we need to bargain?

Q: Do we need any vaccinations?
A: Please consult your doctor or a travel health clinic for the most current recommendations. Generally, hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus are commonly recommended.
