This was so convenient for us to travel around Trivandrum for three days with this rent a car facility. Appreciate their professional way of dealing with customers.I was traveling from Calicut to Trivandrum with my family of four booked swift automatic through their app by making all the payments in advance. Their driver dropped the car at railway station on time. Very seamless procedure before handing over the key which took not more than five minutes. Vehicle was latest model and in good working condition. Returning the car also was a seamless procedure as the driver was waiting for us at the railway station so no delay or hassles.

The car renting experience was great. We rented a Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The car was clean and in great condition. This is the first time we ever rented a car in india, and we will use them again when we are in kerala. Kudos to the entire IndusGo team.
