All vehicle rentals and outstation transfers operate under the following guidelines:

AC Usage Policy: In hilly or ghat terrains, air conditioning (AC) will be switched off temporarily to prevent engine strain and ensure driving safety.

Driver Rest: For outstation journeys, drivers must be given adequate rest between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM unless overnight travel is agreed upon in advance.
Inclusions & Exclusions: Each tour package listing clearly defines all included amenities (such as vehicle transport, accommodation, and specified meals) and exclusions (such as personal expenses, entry tickets, and unmentioned meals).
Itinerary Adjustments: DRK Travels reserves the right to adjust routes or visiting sequences due to weather conditions, road closures, traffic restrictions, or monument closure days.
Hotel Policies: Standard hotel check-in and check-out timings apply as per hotel partner rules. Early check-in or late check-out is subject to availability and hotel charges.

Toll plaza fees, parking tickets, and interstate border entry permits are payable directly by the customer on actuals during travel.
Driver bata / overnight allowances for outstation trips are billed according to standard tariff terms communicated prior to booking.
