Hidden Costs to Consider
When booking any car rental in Ahmedabad, ensure you clarify these additional charges to avoid surprises:
- Driver Allowance: Usually ₹300 - ₹500 per day for outstation trips.
- Statue Entry Tax: Since you are crossing from Gujarat to Rajasthan, a state permit tax is applicable (approx ₹200 - ₹800 depending on vehicle size).
- Toll Charges: There are roughly 4-5 toll plazas between Ahmedabad and Udaipur. Total toll cost is around ₹450 for a round trip in a car.
- GST: Standard 5% GST on the total bill.
Recommended Route and Stops
The most common route is via Himmatnagar and Shamlaji. The roads are excellent 4-6 lane highways. For the best experience, we recommend stopping at Shamlaji for a quick visit to the historical temple, or at one of the many heritage-style garden restaurants near the Rajasthan border.
Pro Tip: Round Trip vs One Way
If you plan to stay in Udaipur for 2-3 days, a round-trip booking is usually cheaper as you get a better per-km rate. If you only need a drop, ask for "One Way" packages which are fixed-price including all taxes.
