Vehicle Rental in Jammu — Complete Guide
Jammu is the winter capital of Jammu & Kashmir and the primary gateway city for Vaishno Devi pilgrims — the most visited pilgrimage site in North India with over 8 million visitors annually. Car rental demand in Jammu is dominated by pilgrims traveling to Katra (the Vaishno Devi base camp, 50 km), airport transfers, and Srinagar highway trips. NH44 (Jammu-Srinagar National Highway) sees the highest cab traffic in the region. The city is also the starting point for Patnitop, Udhampur, and Bhaderwah hill station trips.
