Common questions from car owners

How do I know if a driver is safe to hire?

Run the free 4-point Driver Trust Score on driverrating.in: verify their licence on Parivahan, sight a government photo ID, get a Police Clearance Certificate, and call one past employer. Score 80+ before handing over the keys.

How much should I pay a driver in India?

Monthly salaries range from ₹17,000 in Hyderabad and Chennai to ₹30,000 in Mumbai. Delhi NCR drivers earn ₹18,000–₹26,000. Check our city guides for detailed breakdowns including overtime and airport rates.

Is it better to hire directly or through an agency?

Agencies handle vetting, replacement, and PF compliance — worth the ₹500–₹2,000/month fee if you want zero headache. Hiring directly is 15–25% cheaper but requires you to do the background checks yourself.

What documents should I take from a driver before hiring?

Driving licence (verify on Parivahan), Aadhaar or government photo ID, Police Clearance Certificate, and reference contact from their last employer. Keep photocopies of all three.
