Which car for the hills
Swift Dzire suits two or three people with light luggage. An Ertiga or Innova Crysta is better for families of four to six, with room for bags and a smoother ride on the climb. For larger groups we run Tempo Travellers. Tell us your group size and we suggest honestly, rather than selling the biggest car.
Before you go
Himachal charges an entry tax on outside vehicles, and Rohtang needs a separate permit. Roads can slow in monsoon and winter, and some high passes close in snow. We explain the charges before you travel and check conditions before every departure.

Routes and fares
Common questions
Do you run one-way taxis to Himachal?
Yes. A one-way fare covers the trip from your pickup to your drop. If you want the driver to stay for sightseeing, or bring you back, we quote a round trip instead.
Can you pick me up at the airport and go straight up to the hills?
Yes. We pick up at Chandigarh, Amritsar and Delhi airports, track your flight, and drive on to Shimla, Manali or Dharamshala without a change of car.
Which is the best base for Himachal from Punjab?
Chandigarh is the nearest for Shimla and Manali, Pathankot for Dalhousie and Dharamshala, and Amritsar for Dharamshala. We quote from wherever you start.
