Self drive car & bike rental in Padmanabhapuram
Most people come to Padmanabhapuram for the palace, and most of them see it as one stop on somebody else's timetable. A car for the day is the difference between forty minutes in the palace and a morning in it, with the rest of the day for the temples and the coast rather than a coach back.
Getting a vehicle in Padmanabhapuram
Padmanabhapuram is about 20 km from our base in Nagercoil, and we deliver rather than asking you to come and collect. Give us the address and a time; the vehicle arrives with its papers, a full tank noted down and the KM reading written in front of you.
The palace closes for a long lunch and on Mondays, which catches out a lot of visitors — worth checking before setting off. Parking near the entrance fills by mid-morning in season, and there is more of it a short walk back towards Thuckalay.
