At a very fair price in North India Rajasthan and Delhi ,agra jaipur Ramesh Meena whom his friends call Ram was born in a remote village of Rajasthan in a poor household. When he was barely 17 years old, his father met with a mine accident and was paralyzed and confined to bed for the rest of his life. Having lost the sole bread-earner of the family and faced with a highly precarious financial condition, Ram had to drop out from his school and start earning to support his family. Having initially starting working as a blue-collar worker in various capacities, he worked for a few travel and tour companies as a driver with a meager monthly salary for about 4 years. When he was working for his last employer, he met , during their tour to north India with family in the winter of 2008. Before meeting Ram the Family had quite a frustrating experience with the other drivers of that company. Ram greeted the family with flowers in the morning and gave them a ride in the in one of the western states of India and the family started enjoying their trip. As a result of her interaction with Ram and the highly professional services received from him, she was so impressed with him and suggested him that Ram should start his own company.With a small amount received from the family which they gave it to him generously as tips for his services along with lone received from a financial agency as well as borrowed money from some friends, and a strong motivation from the Family, Ram finally started his own company, namely, India by Car and Driver with only one small car of his own. E initially drove the car himself for more than a year. During this period he was able to pay most of the mortgage of the car and save a little bit of money to by one big car with a decent amount of lone from a bank. With a positive feedback from his clients, most of whom being the Western customers, he was able to get more and more business and now within the third year of starting his own company since January 2009, Ram owns 8 cars which include three small cars to cater to the budget travelers and five (SUV) to cater to the needs of those who travel with the family and can afford to spend little more than a budget traveler. Ram attributes the success of his business to his sincerity, honesty and professionalism, the traits which he expects his drivers to possess as well. In addition to these traits, Ram gives the greatest credit for his success in the business to several of his clients whom he served and who took the pain to take out time and document a positive feedback about his services. Several of the past recipients of his services even agreed to interact with his prospective clients and answer questions « less

In one word – excellent! I booked at the last minute a 4 day trip with my teenage son to see Agra, Delhi and Jaipur. Not only was Ramesh very prompt in answering emails but the price quoted was/seemed to be excellent value for money. I didn’t shop around but then didn’t feel I needed to. As for the driver... More

We were in India for 10 days at the beginning of May and we travelled for 5 days with India by Car, a company run by Ramesh and his team of drivers. We had done a lot of research and written to many companies before settling for this company. Our choice was based on the efficient and succinct manner our... More

We had three offers - from Hotel - 3 times more expensive than this, from local taxi company almost 2 times more expensive and indiabycaranddriver. But we chose this company not because... More

The last time we were in India we traveled 25,000 kms on the trains. This trip our time constraints meant we had to look at other options and although we had never considered hiring a car with a driver we came across India by Car. In part we were worried about having someone hanging around etc but on meeting Sameer... More

Having never used a tour company for our travels, we surely had reservations about using one in India. Our plan was to travel around Rajasthan in 8 days which is quite ambitious if you don't want to spend the majority of time on a train. We came across 'India by Car and Driver' and looking back, it was the best... More

I met a lot of tourists who travelled around India by train and thought that hiring a private chauffeur is costly. Let me tell you it is not. I also did train journeys which saved me some money and I liked the experience, but it's no fun handling a heavy suitcase at the stations yourself if no luggage carriers are... More

Our trip included Delhi, Agra and a tour of Rajestan. Travelling by car is the best way to see how the Indians live. The service by this company was without equal. We had a wonderful driver, Mukesh, who was so well mannered, curteous and thoroughly nice. Before we chose this company, we did extensive research and got quotes from a... More
