Swift Dzire
A Dzire is the default Varanasi taxi for a reason: it fits down Bhelupur's side lanes, parks where a bigger car cannot, and costs less per kilometre than anything else with a boot. For an airport run, a day of ghat-hopping or a Sarnath afternoon with a small family, nothing here beats it on price.
