Bangalore Travel by CarRenting a car, if you can afford it, means freedom of movement and you can come and go when you please, taking peak hour traffic into consideration, of course. Be sure that you know and understand the car rental contract. Make sure you have an international drivers license – in English, it will save you a lot of hassles. Knowing the rules of road use is of utmost importance. Do not drive if you have had a drink, you may just get locked up! |

Getting Around BangaloreBy Auto-Rickshaw & Taxi: Insist that auto-rickshaw drivers use their meters. Generally, the first kilometer will cost Rs 10 (25¢); each kilometer after that costs Rs 5 (10¢). After 10pm, drivers will try to make you pay double; pay no more than 50% above the recorded fare. You won't find taxis that you can just hail off the street, but metered "call taxis" are available almost all over the city or ask your hotel for a reputable number (expect to pay minimum fare of Rs 35/80¢ for 4km/2 1/2 miles, Rs 9/20¢ each additional kilometer, plus extra for waiting and luggage). With Car & Driver -- Plan on spending around of Rs 150 (.40) per hour, or Rs 400 (.10) for a 4-hour tour, which will include 40km (25 miles) of free mileage. To hire a car and driver, try Hertz (tel. 080/2532-5404; Raheja Plaza, Commissariat Rd.), which operates around-the-clock. |
