Car Rental in Shimla with Driver
Chauffeur driven car for Shimla - ₹9/km per day, all inclusive. Local sightseeing, outstation routes or a multi-day Himachal tour with a driver who already knows every bend of the road.
Why a Car with Driver, Not Self-Drive, in Shimla
Most visitors searching for a car rental in Shimla actually need one with a driver included — here's why.
Shimla town centre bans private cars
The Ridge and Mall Road are pedestrian areas, and no private car is allowed near them. You can’t go anywhere with a self drive car when you get to the center. Our driver drops you right on the edge of the zone and parks up to wait.
Hairpin bends and narrow hill roads
The roads in and out of Shimla – to Kufri, Narkanda or down to Chandigarh – are single-lane in sections, with endless switchbacks. A local driver has driven these roads hundreds of times and knows where to slow down and where not to overtake.
Weather changes the route, not just the drive
Winter snow can close the road to Kufri or Narkanda; monsoon landslides can close a highway for hours. Our drivers know the road conditions of the day and will change the route before you are stuck, something a self drive booking cannot do for you.
No self-drive rental network in the hills
Self-drive car rental is a city product. Fuel stations, service centers and tow support thin out fast once you leave Shimla. If you ever need them, a chauffeur-driven car comes with a driver who knows where those are.

Read moreFrequently Asked Questions
Is a car with driver different from renting a self-drive car in Shimla?
Yes. Self-drive means the keys are handed over and you drive. A car with driver is a local chauffeur at a price. Most visitors opt to arrive here with a driver as Shimla’s town center doesn’t permit private cars near the Ridge and Mall Road, and the roads leading up are packed with hairpin turns.
What is included in the per-day price?
Always includes fuel and driver allowance. Toll charges are also included for outstation trips. No hidden charges added at drop off – the quoted fare is the fare you pay.
Is the driver allowance charged separately?
No. Unlike some operators who quote a per-km rate and add driver allowance on top, our per-day price already includes it — what we quote is the full cost.
Can I hire a car with driver for just local Shimla sightseeing, or only outstation?
Both. Local half day and full day hire is available for Shimla sightseeing. The same fleet is also available for outstation trips like Chandigarh, Delhi, Manali and beyond.
Which vehicle should I choose for a family of 4-6?
A sedan like the Dzire or the Exter can seat 4 people with light luggage comfortably. The Toyota Innova Crysta is better suited for 5-6 people, or 4 people with a week's worth of luggage, and copes better with the mountain climbs.
Are tolls included on outstation trips like Shimla to Chandigarh or Delhi to Shimla?
Yes, toll charges are built into the quoted fare on every outstation route we run — they are never added afterward.
Can I book a car with driver for a multi-day trip beyond Shimla, like Manali or Spiti?
Yeah. Multi-day circuits can be booked with the same driver and vehicle – see our tour packages for ready-made itineraries, or call us to build a custom one.
