South India Car Rental with a Private Driver

Private, chauffeur-driven cars across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, from a single airport transfer to a three-week tour. Choose a sedan for two, an Innova for the family, a luxury car for a wedding or a coach for a group. Every vehicle comes with a trained local driver and one clear price.

Driving in South India is different from driving at home. Hill roads to Munnar, Ooty, Kodaikanal and Coorg are narrow and full of hairpin bends, city traffic in Chennai and Bengaluru is heavy, and road signs are often only in Malayalam, Tamil or Kannada. A local driver takes all of that off your hands, so you can watch the tea estates and paddy fields go by instead of the road.

Our drivers are licensed professionals who have worked with us for years. They speak English along with the local language, know which ghat roads slow down after rain, when temple gates open and close, and where to stop for a clean restroom or a good banana-leaf lunch. They stay in driver accommodation near your hotel, and their meals and allowances are part of your price.

Every vehicle in our fleet is air-conditioned, insured, licensed for interstate travel and cleaned before each trip. We choose the car for your group size and luggage, not the other way round: a sedan for two with suitcases, an Innova Crysta for a family of five, a Tempo Traveller for twelve, or a coach for a wedding party or pilgrimage group.

You can hire a car for a single airport or railway transfer, a day of sightseeing in Kochi, Madurai or Mysuru, a one-way drive between states, or a full multi-day tour. The quote you receive lists fuel, tolls, parking, state permits and driver allowance, so there is nothing extra to pay on the road.

Car & driver services

More Than a Car: a Driver Who Knows the South

Our drivers are the reason many guests come back. They grew up in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, know which ghat roads are slow after rain, when temple gates open and where to stop for a good meal. Most have driven with us for years.

We arrange cars for multi-day tours, airport and railway transfers, day sightseeing in Kochi, Madurai, Mysuru or Chennai, weddings and family events, and corporate travel. One-way trips between states are also available.

What Guests Say About Our Drivers

★★★★★

Our Innova and driver for 14 days from Kochi to Chennai were perfect. Spotless car, careful driving on the ghat roads and always on time.

Claire W. · United Kingdom

Hired a car with driver for a temple route in Tamil Nadu. The driver knew every temple timing and found us the best lunch stops.

Markus H. · Germany

★★★★★
