Car rental Tamil Nadu

Drive Your Way

With the large stretches of stunning coastal highways and scenic hill routes, hiring a car is the ultimate way to experience Tamil Nadu's diversity. A car with good clearances like an SUV would be ideal due to the varying road conditions. Just remember, unlike in the UK, driving is on the right-hand side of the road in India – a small but crucial fact!

Must-Visit Cities

• Chennai: The state capital boasts of beautiful beaches like Marina and Edward Elliot's and historic landmarks like Fort St.George and Kapaleeshwarar Temple.
• Coimbatore: Known as the "Manchester of South India" because of its booming textile industry, similar to Manchester in the UK. Also, make sure to visit the Marudhamalai Temple.
• Ooty: A hill station reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, with its tea plantations and Botanical Gardens.

Natural Wonders

Experience the state's lush greenery from cool hill stations like Kodaikanal to the sun-soaked beaches in Pondicherry. Marvel at the exotic wildlife at Mudumalai National Park for an experience different from our usual British wildlife sightings.

Tangible Tips

• Speed Limits: The maximum speed limit on the highways is 90 km/h for cars and on other roads, it varies between 50-80 km/h.
• Currency: The Indian Rupee (INR) is the official currency. Currency can be exchanged at banks or authorised dealers.
• Climate: Unlike our unpredictable British weather, Tamil Nadu has a tropical climate. The cooler months from November to February are the best time to visit.
