Renting a Cab?

Chauffeur Driven Cab

What is the exact rent of the car ( per km / per hour / per day-week)?
Any hidden costs? Tax inclusive? Driver's bata/allowances? Air-conditioned?
Is the vehicle fitted with speed governor as specified by the Govt. of Karnataka?

 

Are you getting an vehicle worth for what you are paying? 

Is the vehicle fitted with a good Stereo?
Is the vehicle fitted with a TV/LCD monitor?
Is the vehicle fitted with Push back seats?
Is the vehicle fitted with Seat belts?
Is the vehicle fitted with a Air-conditioner?
