The road to happiness isn’t a metaphor in Bhutan—it’s a literal winding highway carved into the Himalayas.
From the cloud-covered Chele La Pass to the historic winding roads of Punakha, the journey is the destination here. But navigating these mountain terrains requires more than just a vehicle; it requires a partner who understands the curves.
At Jai Cab Trips, we redefine “Car Rental in Bhutan.” We don’t just hand you a key and a map. We provide a complete mobility solution. Whether you are a family needing a spacious Toyota Coaster or a couple looking for a luxury SUV, our fleet is your ticket to a stress-free Himalayan adventure.
The "Jai CabTrips" Difference: Why Rent With Us?
Many travelers make the mistake of booking random taxis at the Phuentsholing border. Here is why pre-booking with a specialized agency like Jai Cab Trips changes your experience:
Chauffeur-Driven vs. Self-Drive: The Truth
We often get asked, “Can I rent a self-drive car in Bhutan?”
While Indian tourists are technically allowed to bring their own private cars, renting a self-drive vehicle inside Bhutan is legally restricted for tourists.
The Better Alternative: Our Chauffeur-Driven Rentals.
- No Permit Stress: Our drivers handle the daily RSTA route checkpoints.
- Enjoy the View: Why keep your eyes glued to the GPS and clutch on steep hairpin bends? Let our driver handle the road while you enjoy the valleys.
- Local Knowledge: Our drivers know the hidden “photo spots” that Google Maps misses.
Mountain-Ready Fleet
Bhutan’s roads can be steep and narrow. A standard city car often struggles.
- Luxury SUVs: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Hyundai Creta, Toyota Innova Crysta. (Perfect for comfort on long drives).
- Family Wagons: Toyota HiAce, Coaster Bus (Best for groups of 6+).
- Budget Sedans: Swift Dzire, Hyundai Aura (Ideal for short Thimphu-Paro hops).
- All vehicles are Yellow-Plate Commercial registered, ensuring hassle-free movement across districts.
Drivers Who Double as Guides
Our drivers are not just operators; they are “Captains.” They speak fluent Hindi, English, and Bengali. They know the best stopovers for clean restrooms and warm tea—a small detail that matters huge on 6-hour drives.
