Self drive car & bike rental in Thuckalay
Thuckalay is close enough to Nagercoil for a same-day delivery and far enough along the Kerala road to be a sensible place to start a drive north. It is also the nearest town to Padmanabhapuram Palace, so a fair number of the day rentals here are people who want the palace without the coach party.
Getting a vehicle in Thuckalay
Thuckalay is about 16 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 main road through Thuckalay carries the traffic between Nagercoil and Thiruvananthapuram, which makes it slow through the middle of the day and clear early. The roads towards the palace and the villages behind it are quieter and well surfaced. Self drive cars and bikes in Thuckalay are handed over at your door, and the palace is close enough that most people take the car for the day rather than the hour.
