Based on good experiences in the past I trusted this Organisation represented by a man called Bal Ram and after agreement was reached I paid the whole amount for a 10-days trip from Goa to Thrissur in advance, namely INR 105‘000.— (USD 1265.—) to their banking account with Baroda Bank in New Delhi. After that I did not hear anymore from IBCD until shortly before departure to India. IBCD now requested another INR 95‘000.— (USD 1115.—) if I really wanted to have the Toyota Innova agreed upon from the very beginning of the negotiations. Otherwise I would have to settle with a small Indian made car of the brand Maruti Dzire. I insisted on the Toyota Innova but In the short time before departure It was impossible for me to find an alternative solution. So I gave in to the blackmail what resulted to an astronomous daily cost for car and driver of INR 19‘000.— corresponding to incredible USD 219.— per day, which is about twice the amount commonly paid for the service. IBCD admitted they made a mistake and I suspect that their Goa B2B vendor Bijou Joy drove up the price. However, car and driver was provided by Smart Tours and Travel in Bangalore and not the greedy Bijou Joy. So at least three parties washed their hands in this grotesquely overpriced deal, IBCD being the one responsible in the first instance. They all cleverly exploited the predicament I had gotten into. But the one I had negotiated with and reached a legally valid agreement was IBCD - but to my unpleasant surprise they did not respect that agreement well documented by e-Mail. They admitted a mistake but were not ready to stand up to their obligations. Instead they made me pay dearly for it. Therefore I completely lost confidence in IBCD and I am no longer recommending this Company. Another lesson from this bad experience is „don‘t make any advance payments to India, at the utmost a part of the contractual sum“.

Our itinerary: Delhi (1d/2n), Mandawa (1n), Pushkar (1n), Jodhpur (2n), Kumbhalgarh (1n), Udaipur (3n), Bundi (1n), Ranthambore (1n), Jaipur (3n), Agra (1n).
Mr Bal Ram who runs IBCD was very responsive in answering all questions and very easy to work with. His proposal was similar to that of other agents, and the price was in the lower end of the range compared to the different offers I compared. Ask to break up the price in car+driver and hotels what makes it easier to compare offers between agents.
The car+driver: we got a brand new car (a Toyota Rumion), so we were the first customers driving it. This model has plenty of space in the back so that tall people (like myself) have a comfortable trip.
Our driver was very skilled, a real hero in the Indian traffic. He drove very safe, kept the speed limits, was very alert the whole time even with long drives. If you haven’t visited yet it’s difficult to imagine how hectic it really is. I’ve driven everywhere in the world myself, in extreme conditions, but this would have been a no-go without damaging the car or hurting other road warriors.
IBCD however had promised us not only a skilled driver, but also one we could conversate with. The promise was “one of our best English Speaking drivers … working with us for the last 11 years” . This was not the case. The driver had a basic knowledge of English, enough to understand where we wanted to go, and what time to meet, but a proper conversation was impossible. That meant the driver added little additional value on top of being an excellent driver. We weren’t expecting a guide but had hoped to be able to have a chat with him about life in India, or receive some info/tips about things on the road. 16 days is a long time not being able to conversate to someone you’re in the car with for many hours.
The hotels: We went for middle of the road hotels, which means 3* in India, and very reasonable priced compared to western hotel prices. Most of them were ok and according expectations, 2-3 were below par (see my separate reviews for the hotels). The added value of booking the hotels through IBCD was limited so I would not do that again next time.
The extra’s: IBCD fixed us a SIM with data for the full trip (unmissable for prepping for your next destination or stop) and online maps, there was unlimited water bottles, they booked us 2 safaris in Ranthambore. IBCD also included guides for 2 days, one a hit, one a miss. There were some other extras, but due to the language barrier with the driver, and what looked like a lack of briefing by IBCD, it was a hassle to claim them.
Conclusion: we were glad we had booked through an agent for a first India trip, but next time we’ll only book the car+driver.

My husband & I & 4 children used IBCD for a trip to visit friends in Manali for a week in the summer. Organisation of the trip was really efficient with Mr Bal Ram replying promptly & helpfully as we changed our mind on what kind of vehicle we needed & where we needed picking up & dropping off. Our driver Mr Jagat picked us up from Chandigarh & the car was clean & comfortable & kept clean through out our trip. He was friendly and helpful & available at all times as we made plans for our days. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again & recommend them to anyone looking for a car & driver. Thank you for helping our trip go so smoothly.

The best service provider in India

Me and my husband went to india for 4 nights 5 days and rent a car from IBCD to use in Delhi , Jaipur and Agra.

This was our first trip with IBCD and all of our questions were answered promptly and the customer service and driver are very patient during the entire process.

Most importantly they are knowledgeable to welcome you make you feel comfortable.

We felt safe, comfortable and satisfy with the services they provided.

Thank you, IBCD.

We are lucky enough to be their first oversea guest fafter the pandemic, and it's again my second time with them since 2016.

Mr Bal Ram always stands by from WhatsApp even late night, and our driver Mr Om Prakash is kind and patient enough to take care of us during 5 days triangle trip. He ensured the car is well clean and tidy every time the next day which is quite impressive.

Definitely I will ride with them this winter for further venture :)

From first contact we knew IBCD would be the company for us- proffesional and dilligent throughout, took his time to pre-recce the locations we were staying in and the driver knew where he was going all the time.

We did a route Delhi - Agra - Ranthambore - Jaipur - Our driver Subash was brilliant throughout, so glad he drove us around - driving in india is a nightmare at the best of times but Subash made it seem easy and got us where we needed to be on time everytime. The guides supplied by the IBCD were great and really made our trip enjoyable with their knowledge.

100% reccomend this company and would use again if visiting India.

This was our second trip with IBCD and we were again completely satisfied with car and driver. We were on the road from February 6 to Febr 14, 2020, starting in Delhi and proceeding to Agra,Bharatpur,Fatehpur Sikri,Gwalior,Sonagir, Orchha, Vrindavan and then back to Delhi. Our driver did an excellent driving job and always kept our car clean and nice. The most important thing is, we always felt safe and in good hands all the way.

My wife and I had a luxury car for our 14 days road trip from Delhi to Agra and All the cities of Rajasthan. The communication with Bal Ram before our trip was great. We had 2 drivers, our 1st driver Balwant Ji we had for 3 days to Jaipur then our 2nd driver Karan Ji for 11 days. Both drivers were friendly and happy to talk about their country and to us in general. The cars were always clean with spring water ready for us. They took us everywhere we wanted to go. Indian music on request was great. Although our itinerary was large with nearly everything on the list, Karan Ji advised us on other places of interest we were passing and may be interested in and thought we would like to stop, including all those good food stops. He even protected us in the middle of nowhere when two male camels were about to get into a fight lol. We felt both drivers were protective and really looked after us. Always on time when we needed them and waiting patiently when we were site seeing. I lost my wedding ring in Jaisalmer and Karan Ji was genuinely upset for me. We were sad to say goodbye to him. I would definitely recommend IBCD for the price, comfortable car and the fantastic service. If you are going to go India, go IBCD!!

We had an excellent experience of IBCD. Our flight to Delhi was hugely delayed but we informed Mr Bal Ram and the driver Mr Karan Singh was at the airport to receive us at the later time. From there on, it went smoothly. Mr. Karan Singh is a very good (and safe) driver, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He also gave us useful tips throughout, and kept us supplied with bottled water. We travelled from Delhi to Agra then to Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur-10 days in total. Mr Karan Singh was willing to take us wherever we wanted, and tailored the itinerary/ start time accordingly. I would not hesitate to book with IBCD again and would ask for Mr Karan Singh specifically!
