However, unless one is accustomed to driving on the left side of the road and to navigating very free-flowing and crowded traffic situations, it is probably best to hire both a car and a driver. Most car rental services will have cars with drivers as an option.
Drivers tend to be aggressive, so drive carefully.
Pedestrians should be especially careful. Petrol is purchased by indicating the monetary amount for the quantity of petrol. For example, one might ask the attendant for 200 rupees of petrol. A sign on the pump should indicate the number of liters that specific amounts of rupees will purchase. Prices are fairly consistent between various pumps.
