About SelfDriveGo
We built this because
the old way was broken.
Chandigarh is 60 km from the Himalayas. Most rental companies treat that like a liability. We treat it like the point.

The Story
Started after one
very bad rental experience.
In 2023, we rented a car from one of the major platform operators for a Spiti trip. The car that arrived was not the car we booked. The insurance documents were outdated. Customer support did not answer for six hours. We drove it anyway.
Advith Shetty and Mridul Chauhan came back and built SelfDriveGo with one principle: deliver exactly what you promise, or do not offer it. No bait-and-switch on vehicles. No last-minute surprises on permits. No support that vanishes when the customer is 400 km from Chandigarh.
Two years later, we have completed over 500+ trips, maintained a 4.9-star Google rating, and have not once sent a customer the wrong car. That last part matters to us more than anything.
How We Operate
Four things we will
never compromise on.
01
No hidden charges, ever
The price you see includes insurance, inter-state permits, GPS, and doorstep delivery. We decided on day one that opaque pricing was the fastest way to lose trust. So we removed it entirely.
02
Vehicles built for these roads
Every car in our fleet is chosen specifically for Himalayan terrain. The Jimny exists because Spiti and Leh demand it. We do not rent vehicles that we would not take on these routes ourselves.
03
Support that actually responds
Every rental comes with 24/7 WhatsApp access to our team. Not a bot. Not a ticketing system. A real person who knows the route you are on and can help in under 5 minutes.
04
We do not use drivers
SelfDriveGo is for people who want to drive themselves. Your schedule, your pace, your stops. We just make sure the car is ready and the road is not a surprise.
The Founders
Two people. Every trip.
Mridul Chauhan
Co-founder
Co-founded SelfDriveGo. Looks after bookings, handovers, and the WhatsApp that still answers when a customer is already on the road.
