Drive a Hire Car in India

Regardless of which part of India you arrive in, there will certainly be something nearby to be visited and explored with your rental car. The capital of the country and also the second largest city is New Delhi a giant metropolis located towards the north of the country. New Delhi is a great place to begin your trip, and you can spend as much or as little time here as you like, while still having more things to see and do.

While in New Delhi, be sure to check out the Red Fort, built in the 1600s out of red sandstone, and also the Tomb of Humayun, a huge building dating back to the 1500s and dedicated to a Mughal emperor. Another highly recommended place to visit here includes the 13th century Qutub Complex, complete with the Qutub Minar, once the tallest building in the world, and the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, the first mosque built in the city.

Regardless of which direction you choose to head in from here, touring India with your hire car will lead you to fantastic locations right across the country.

In the north, you will find the Himalayas, the tallest, and arguably the most famous mountains in the world. Drive your rental car through the area, which not only features stunning scenery, but also loads of small towns and cities, each with its own character and attraction. While here, make sure you visit the town Dharamsala, which is home to the Dalai Lama, and also the largest Tibetan complex outside of Tibet.

When visiting India, you will have the choice of a wide range of places to visit and things to see. Drive your rental car across to the east side of Calcutta, where rural life still prevails, and things have seen little change, or head over to the west, where you can visit the Sacred caves of Ajanta and Ellora, or perhaps just unwind on the beaches of Goa. The possibilities are endless, and with your hire car, you will have the freedom to see as little or as much as you wish.
