Should I get a luxury rental car in Karnataka?
First of all, there's a huge variety of both economy and luxury vehicles to rent in Karnataka. What you end up going for is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not go for a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a set of wheels to get you from A to B as cheaply as possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
What side of the road do they drive on in Karnataka?
The left side of the road is where you'll be motoring along in Karnataka. The controls of your rental vehicle here, such as the steering wheel and stick shift (if your car has manual transmission), will be on the other side of what you're used to.
Are there speed limits in Karnataka?
In Karnataka, the maximum default speed limit outside a built-up area is typically 120km/h. The minimum is 40km/h. When approaching residential zones, keep in mind that unless indicated otherwise, 40km/h is the limit.
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in India?
One of two things will happen. Your rental company may charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the most common practice. On the other hand, it may forward your contact information to local law enforcement agencies so the fine is sent directly to you.
