Important Points
Car: Number of places that can be visited in a day is Maximum 7.
You can choose the places that you want to visit. Not many are aware of which places to visit and which places to miss while making a tour itinerary, as not all places can be covered in one day by car.
Here’s a list of places that will help you make your own itinerary.
Economy: Car may or may not be economical, as the number of passengers increase car or a private vehicle will always be costlier.
Moreover, Car for a family of 4 more less costing would be Rs 1500 , condition – 8 hours / 80 kilometeres.
For every additional kilometers pay extra.
Important Points
Guide: Your driver may or may not have the knowledge about the places, he may or may not know English. So its always better to make sure that you confirm that before booking a Car
2 Days Tour: If you are planning to visit Delhi for 2 days the cost for hiring a car for 2 days will certainly be higher.
Important Points
Pick and Drop: The best part about hiring a car would be pick and drop facility. However, note that the pick and drop will be bound by the condition of 8 hours / 80 km.
Thus it would be prudent that the Car you book should be as near as possible to your location of stay. Else, you will end up paying more.
Metro/Ola/Uber: Delhi is one of the most well connected city and thus if you plan to decide to take HOHO Bus, you can easily reach the pick up point.
Refer: How to reach
Halts at Expensive Shops and Restataurants: If you opt to take Car, there are chances that driver will halt at food points for lunch and at shopping points for your shopping. These places are often very expensive. Comparatively, you may end up paying a lot more for the Delhi Darshan by Car.
Important Points
Photography Opportunities: Car will go to pre-decided itinerary instead of a pre-defined route. Thus, there are chances that it will not pass through places which you don’t want to visit due to time constraint, but at least want to take photos of them. Thus, comparatively speaking with Car you might miss on those places.
Variety of Places: Again, for the above reasons, as the Car would have a fixed itinerary and chances are that it would be focused on more traditional places, like Red Fort, Qutab Minar, India Gate. You might miss on the other exciting attractions that are popular among tourists example:
