As tourism in Kerala experiences a strong resurgence, Southgate Travels is witnessing a record increase in customer interest to rent a car Kerala Cochin, especially among independent travelers and families who value convenience, safety, and autonomy on the road.

Cochin (Kochi), Kerala’s cultural capital and gateway to the backwaters, remains one of the most visited cities in South India. Travelers are no longer relying solely on guided tours or fixed itineraries. Instead, they’re opting to rent cars and curate their own travel experiences — a trend that Southgate Travels has actively catered to over the past year.

According to the company, the demand to rent a car Kerala Cochin has grown significantly during peak seasons like Onam, New Year, and school holidays. Destinations such as Fort Kochi, Cherai Beach, Athirappilly, and even the hill station of Munnar are now being explored by road more than ever before. Self-drive and chauffeur-based rentals offer flexibility, especially for families with kids, business travelers, or those attending weddings and special events.

Southgate Travels attributes this rise to a growing shift in travel mindset — one that favors spontaneous detours, offbeat locations, and immersive cultural experiences. "Today’s traveler values freedom. They don’t want to be bound by schedules. Our car rental solutions help them do just that," said a spokesperson from the company.

For booking inquiries or personalized travel plans, customers can contact Southgate Travels directly at +91 92496 99996. The company also emphasized its continued focus on vehicle hygiene, GPS-enabled tracking, customer support, and a wide selection of vehicles ranging from compact hatchbacks to premium SUVs. With tourism expected to expand further in 2025–26, Southgate Travels is preparing to expand its fleet and services across more Kerala cities.

For travelers looking to unlock Kerala at their own rhythm, Southgate Travels continues to offer seamless, affordable, and accessible mobility options from the heart of Cochin.
