Tips for the trip
- Start early. Leaving Kanniyakumari before 6 a.m. gets you past the city traffic and most of the highway before the heat builds.
- Tell us about luggage when you book. A sedan takes two big suitcases; for more, an SUV or Innova is the safer choice.
- Keep the driver's number handy. He'll call you before he reaches your pickup point, and you can share it with family.
- Tolls are paid by FASTag on the way and added to your bill at the end, so you don't need to carry change.
