Private car and driver - Delhi
 

I would be grateful if anyone could recommend a reliable private driver and car to be at our disposal on 3 different occasions in Delhi. We are overnighting on 3 nights and require meeting at the airport and then driving around Delhi for shopping and sightseeing etc.

Try a travel company called Wanderlust in Delhi [email protected] Ask for the driver Rambaran who cares for all his customers

I can recco two car services.

Send them an e-mail and they will give you a quote for picking you up at the airport, plus car service around Delhi. I think airport pickup is about Rs500 (about US$10), but confirm this as I have not used them for airport pickup. I know they charge Rs600 (about US$13) for an 8-hour day of touring within Delhi. They have older cars but perfectly clean and fine, if you want an Ambassador (a fun way to see Delhi) ask for one. They also have Toyota Qualis SUVs, not really necessary in Delhi, and would probably cost more.

My company uses them in Delhi; they do not have e-mail which is a bit more inconvenient for you. They have newer cars. They are a bit more expensive. Airport pickup is about Rs.500 could be a bit more depending on hotel location.

We used Compass Travel to book a car/driver for our time in Delhi last December (on an a la carte basis). The vehicles were new and drivers very safe and nice.

Lucy, if you ever discovered anything about the cruise in Assam, email me, as I am seeking information and will be doing the trip in March 2007.
