What is included in the price?

The private air-conditioned car and driver for all your days, plus fuel, tolls, parking, taxes and the driver's own lodging and meals. You only add your hotels, monument tickets and meals — and we can arrange handpicked hotels too.

Will the driver take me to shops for commission?

Never. No forced shopping and no commission stops — a promise our guests mention again and again in our diaries. Your driver steers you toward honest prices, not toward emporiums.

Private Car with Driver in India — English-Speaking, Door to Door

How it works

A driver who becomes a friend for the road.

Tell us your dates and where you dream of going. Lucky shapes the route, quotes one honest all-inclusive price, and drives you himself — or sends a driver he has personally vetted. That's it: no booking desk, no daily haggling, no strangers.

What you get

One vetted, English-speaking driver for the entire journey
A private, air-conditioned car — clean, comfortable, yours
Door-to-door pickup and drop, any hour, airport included
Meet your driver on a WhatsApp video call before you pay
WhatsApp support the whole trip — change plans on the road
Licensed local guides arranged at each city

What a private driver is not

Not a group tour bus on someone else's timetable
Not a new taxi and a new stranger every day
Not a driver on commission steering you into shops
Not a rigid package — every plan stays flexible, even mid-trip

Where a private driver takes you

From a Jaipur day trip to a month across India.

One car and driver reaches everywhere the trains and tours miss — the stepwell down a side road, the dhaba with the best dal, the fort at the hour the light turns gold.

Why travellers choose a private driver

The freedom of India, without the friction.

What you'll feel

Safe — the word that appears most in our guest diaries, on India's beautiful, chaotic roads
Free — stop where you like, linger longer, change the plan on a whim
Looked after — 2am airport pickups, a chai stop every two hours, dinner at Lucky's family home
Understood — an English-speaking local who reads the menu, finds the photograph, knows the honest price
