What does each vehicle actually carry?
Seat counts are the headline; luggage is what decides the booking. As a working rule, the comfortable passenger number is one to two below the seat count once everyone has a large suitcase.
| Vehicle | Seats | Comfortable with luggage | Large bags | From / day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan — Dzire, Etios, Glanza | 4 | 2–3 | 2 | ₹2,500 |
| Ertiga / Rumion | 6 | 4–5 | 3 | ₹2,800 |
| Innova / Crysta | 7 | 4–5 | 4 | ₹3,000 |
| SUV — Fortuner, Scorpio, XUV | 5–7 | 4–5 | 4 | on request |
| Tempo Traveller | 12–17 | 10–12 | 12+ with carrier | ₹3,800 |
| Force Urbania | 13–17 | 11–13 | large internal bay | on request |
Send the bag count with the headcount when you ask for a quote. Four adults with four large suitcases do not fit in a sedan of any badge, and seven people with seven suitcases do not fit in one Innova — those two are the commonest misjudgements we correct at the airport.
Which class suits which trip, and the reasoning behind the choice, is set out in our vehicle and luggage guide. This page is the specification list; that page is the decision.
What is included in the day rate?
Fuel, driver, tolls, parking and tax. The rate is flat per day across transfer days, sightseeing days and halt days, so there is no separate night-halt charge on a multi-day booking.
What is not included is consistent across every vehicle on this page: the Gulmarg Gondola, pony and sledge rides, ATV rides, entry tickets, and the local union vehicles at the Pahalgam inner valleys, Thajiwas and above Tangmarg in heavy snow. Those are settled locally in cash and no vehicle class changes them.
You are quoting the number of days the vehicle is with you, not the kilometres. A day the driver spends waiting in Katra or Pahalgam is billed the same as a driving day, which is what makes multi-day bookings simple to compare.
All chauffeur-driven — we do not offer self-drive.
Full per-day fares across the fleet are on our Kashmir taxi rates page, and how a booking is put together in the complete guide to booking a taxi in Kashmir.
How is the fleet run?
Commercially registered vehicles with licensed local drivers, operating under J&K excursion agent registration JKEA00003597 from a base at Pampore, Pulwama. Chauffeur-driven only.
The drivers are the part that matters most on these roads and the part hardest to see in a listing. They live on these routes: they know when the Tangmarg restriction is likely to be in force before it is announced, which Pahalgam union rate is fair, and how long the Ganderbal stretch will take on a Saturday in July. That is worth more on a Kashmir itinerary than the badge on the bonnet.
On a multi-day booking you keep the same vehicle and the same driver from the arrival pickup through to the departure drop. Your luggage stays in one car all week.
How far ahead should you book?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a sedan or an Innova. Group vehicles are the constraint — Tempo Travellers and Urbanias in peak weeks go a month or more ahead, and wedding season competes for the same vehicles.
The peaks are predictable: April and May for tulip season and school holidays, June for the summer rush, and the Christmas and New Year window in winter. Outside those, availability is rarely the problem and a few days of notice is enough.
What genuinely needs early notice is a specific configuration — a 17-seater, or an SUV for a Ladakh crossing with a mountain-experienced driver. Send the dates as soon as your flights are booked, even if the itinerary is still loose; we can hold the vehicle and firm up the route later.
Frequently asked questions
Is self-drive car rental available?
No. Every vehicle on this page is chauffeur-driven. On Kashmir routes that is genuinely the better arrangement — road conditions, union rules and winter restrictions all need local judgement on the day.
How many large suitcases fit in a sedan?
Two, plus cabin bags. Four adults with four large suitcases need an Ertiga or an Innova regardless of which sedan you were quoted.
Are the fares fixed or does the meter run?
Fixed per day, quoted before you travel and including fuel, driver, tolls and parking. There is no meter and no per-kilometre addition on a day booking.
Can I change vehicle mid-trip if it feels tight?
Usually yes, subject to what is free on the day. It is cheaper and easier to get the class right at the booking stage — tell us the bag count honestly and we will say what fits.
Do you charge extra for a night halt on a multi-day booking?
No. The daily rate is flat across transfer, sightseeing and halt days, so a day spent waiting is billed the same as a driving day.
Which vehicle is best for a winter trip?
Any of them, with the caveat that above Tangmarg in heavy snow every class transfers to a chained local vehicle. Choose on luggage and group size as usual; the winter restriction is not something a bigger booking avoids.
