Self Drive Car Rental From Dehradun Airport
Ditch the taxi queues. Grab your keys right at arrivals.
Alright, let’s keep it real—touchdown at Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport and you’ve basically stepped into vacation mode… except, wait, how the heck do you get anywhere? Unlike big city airports, there’s no Ola, no Uber—nothing but local taxi guys ready to scoop your wallet.
Talking reality, you’ll cough up ₹1,500–₹2,000 just to get into Dehradun city. Rishikesh? That’s ₹1,200–₹1,500 for a 15km drive. I mean, unless “burning cash for fun” is your thing, it’s honestly painful.
That’s where Rapidx Car Rental swoops in like a hero in a Bollywood flick. Self drive car rental from Dehradun Airport? Total game changer.
