Exploring Pune is best done by car. Start your journey in the heart of the city and drive through these must-visit locations:

Shaniwar Wada:
Start your Pune tour at Shaniwar Wada, a grand fortification that is a testament to the glory of the Maratha Empire. Constructed in 1732 by the Peshwas, this historical monument provides an insight into the rich history of Pune. The imposing entrance, the Delhi Gate, and the imposing remains of the palace walls provide you with an idea of the grandeur that once was here. Within, you may visit the extensive gardens, fountains, and the legendary Hazari Karanje (a sixteen-petal-shaped lotus fountain). The evening light and sound show telling the history of the fort enhances the experience. Through our car rental facility in Pune, you can easily access Shaniwar Wada and indulge in the legends of Maratha bravery and heritage.

Aga Khan Palace:
Drive to the Aga Khan Palace, one of the most peaceful and historic places in Pune. Constructed in 1892 by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III, the palace stands out because of its connection with Mahatma Gandhi, whose prison it was during the Quit India Movement. Today, a museum inside the palace exhibits rare photographs and personal items of Gandhi, Kasturba Gandhi, and Mahadev Desai. It is a wonderful destination for history buffs and people who want peace and quiet, all around which is covered with gardens and peaceful walking paths. A car rental in Pune gives you the luxury to visit this landmark at your leisure, without any inconvenience of traveling by public transport, so you can experience its historical touch.

Sinhagad Fort:
For those who love adventure, a drive to Sinhagad Fort is a must. Located about 30 km from Pune, the ancient fort is perched on a hill, providing panoramic views of the Sahyadri ranges. The fort was a key location in many battles, the most famous being the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670, where Tanaji Malusare fought bravely. The ride to the fort is picturesque, with serpentine roads slicing through thick vegetation, so it’s a pleasant drive. You can either walk up to the top from where you stand at the bottom or drive up to where there is a parking space marked. The fort has panoramic views, ancient bastions, and the opportunity to enjoy local Maharashtrian snacks such as Kanda Bhaji and Pithla Bhakri at roadside stalls. Hiring an SUV in Pune is perfect for a comfortable and smooth drive up the hilly terrain.
