For getting around Udaipur itself, nothing beats an automatic scooter. No gears to think about, light enough to thread through the old city, and somewhere to put a bag and a bottle of water. It is the vehicle we hand over most often, and for most visitors it is the right one.
The old city was laid out long before cars and it shows. The lanes between Jagdish Temple, the ghats and Gangaur Ghat are narrow, busy and frequently one-and-a-half vehicles wide. A scooter goes where a car simply cannot, and parks where a car cannot either.
Everything a visitor comes for sits within a short ride. Fateh Sagar is about ten minutes from the old city, Sajjangarh about twenty-five, Badi Lake a little over twenty. A scooter turns a day of negotiating auto fares into a day of just going.
Automatic means there is nothing to learn. If you have ridden a scooter anywhere in the world you can ride this one, and if you haven't, the flat roads along Fateh Sagar are a forgiving place to get the feel of it.
Scooter rates start lower than anything else we hire out, and drop again on weekly and monthly terms — worth asking about if you're staying more than a few days. The live daily, weekly and monthly prices are on each scooter below.
Two helmets come with every scooter at no charge. Fuel is not included; scooters here are frugal enough that a couple of hundred rupees covers several days of city riding.
We hold a refundable deposit, returned at drop-off. Nothing is taken online — we confirm everything with you directly first.
Start with the Fateh Sagar loop. It is wide, well-surfaced, scenic and gentle, and it gives you twenty minutes to get used to the brakes before you take on anything busier.
Keep to the left, use the horn the way everyone else does — as a friendly 'I'm here' rather than a complaint — and give cows the right of way without exception. They have it, and they know it.
Park in the marked bays near the ghats and around Fateh Sagar rather than against a shopfront. Parking is cheap and the alternative is an inconvenient conversation.
