Monsoon brings with it the beauty of lush greenery, cooler temperatures, and a fresh breath of air, but it also comes with its own set of travel challenges. From waterlogged roads to reduced visibility, traveling in rainy weather requires extra caution, planning, and the right set of tools to ensure a smooth journey.
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway, airport transfer, or a daily commute, here are some must-know travel tips for rainy weather, especially if you’re choosing Carzonrent’s Self-Drive or Chauffeur-Driven services.
