There’s no doubt about it, India can be an intimidating place to drive. Think of the road rules more like guidelines, with everyone else on the road deciding which ones to obey and disregard at random. The insurance on a car rental can also be a bit of a minefield. And then there’s trying to find a park. If you’re looking to get around in the cities, consider hiring a car and a driver, it may cost you more initially but it’s generally the less stressful path in the long run.
