Hiring a taxi is convenient especially for families and big groups who don’t want to drive long distances. Self-drive option saves money and gives you complete freedom to customize your stops.

• Winter (Nov–Feb): 13–25°C, good for driving and sightseeing.
• Summer (Apr–Jun): Hot (30–40°C) till you reach the hill station.

✔ Valid insurance and service history

✔ Spare wheel, jack and tools

✔ Extra engine oil, extra coolant, first-aid kit 

Packing for Hill Station Travel

While Mount Abu may be cooler, the plains of Rajasthan are still warm. Be sure to pack layers to deal with the varying temperatures while on your trip.

• Light woollens (in the morning, and the evening)
• Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat
• Water bottle, snacks for highway stretches 

Food & Rest Stops

With families and groups of friends traveling together, however, car travel is even more economical.

• Flexibility: You can stop wherever and whenever you want – perfect if you’re adding Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur side-trips.
