Self drive car & bike rental in Kanyakumari

Getting a vehicle in Kanyakumari

Kanyakumari is about 20 km from our base in Nagercoil, and we deliver rather than asking you to come and collect. Give us the address and a time; the vehicle arrives with its papers, a full tank noted down and the KM reading written in front of you.

The streets around the ferry and the beach are narrow and busy from before dawn, because the sunrise crowd starts early. Parking is far easier a few streets back from the seafront, and we can deliver to any of the hotels along the main road rather than meeting in the middle of that. A self drive car in Kanyakumari is handed over at Kanyakumari Railway Station or at your hotel, whichever is easier on the day you arrive. Self drive cars in Kanyakumari are worth having for the same reason they are anywhere on this coast: the sunrise is at the tip, but Vattakottai, Suchindram and the quieter beaches are a drive away and the buses to them stop early. Car rental in Kanyakumari from us includes the KM limit and the deposit in writing before you take the keys.
