If you're planning on spending more than a day in Karnataka, hiring a car is a wise option. Not only will you be able to see more of the region, but you'll also be able to avoid the crowds and save on transportation costs. Karnataka car hire companies offer great convenience and flexibility. A road trip in this vast state is more interesting since it allows you to take in the scenery, which you would typically lose out on if you travelled by other means. Karnataka has a lot to offer. It is a stunning combination of hills, temples, beaches, ancient cities, history and archaeology. In addition to having a rich historical past, it also boats 25+ wildlife sanctuaries and multiple national parks, of which Nagarhole and Bandipur are the more popular.

Driving in Karnataka is generally not easy. The roads are narrow and traffic is heavy, which makes driving very challenging. It is not uncommon to see vehicles parked on the side of the road with drivers chatting with their passengers. It's important to note that most of the roads are metered, meaning that you might have to pay to pass through, especially in Bengaluru, Karnataka’s state capital. When it comes to parking spaces, there are multiple options, from private spaces in garages to public spaces on the roadside and in car parks. You’ll even find smart parking in some places, which makes it easy to park your vehicle at a reasonable fee. During the monsoon season, the dry lands in most of Karnataka come back to life, making driving very refreshing and enjoyable. The landscape is green and beautiful all over as the rain creates magic. Waterfalls flow downwards unhindered from the mountains as streams, previously dry, roar back to life. Not forgetting the seas and beaches.

Like the rest of India, you must be at least 18 years old to hire a car in Karnataka. However, certain places in Bengaluru have a higher minimum age limit of 21 or 23. Additionally, some vehicle classes may not be available to young drivers. Before being served, young drivers might also be asked to present another form of identification, like a current passport.
