Itineraries

0 self drive tours

Every itinerary is customisable and operated on the dates you choose.

No packages match these filters yet

Tell us what you have in mind and we will build an itinerary for it — most of our trips start exactly this way.

Some countries are simply better driven. Switzerland, New Zealand, Iceland, Scotland and South Africa reward the pull-over-here moment far more than any coach itinerary can.

What we book, what you control

We arrange the vehicle category, the insurance excess reduction, the cross-border permissions, the hotels along a sensible route and any experiences that need advance booking. You decide when to leave, where to stop and how long to stay at the viewpoint.

Driving realities we plan for

International Driving Permit requirements, which countries accept an Indian licence and which do not, toll and vignette systems, winter tyre laws, single-track road etiquette, fuel-type mistakes that cost a fortune, and realistic daily driving distances. Most first-time self-drive itineraries fail because they plan 400 km days on mountain roads.

Within India

Rajasthan, Goa and coastal Maharashtra, the Konkan, the Ladakh circuit and the Spiti loop all work well self-driven, with backup support arranged along the route.

Good to know

Self Drive Tours — FAQs

Do I need an International Driving Permit?
In most countries, yes, alongside your Indian licence. Requirements differ and change; we confirm exactly what your destination needs and how to obtain it in time.
What is a sensible daily driving distance?
On European motorways, 250–300 km is comfortable. On mountain roads in Switzerland, Iceland or Ladakh, 150–200 km is a full day once you factor in the stops you will actually want to make.
What if the car breaks down?
Every booking includes roadside assistance and we provide local emergency numbers plus our own contact. We choose rental partners with real support networks rather than the cheapest broker.
