What is an acting driver?
An acting driver is a professional driver you hire for a short time to drive your own vehicle. Unlike a taxi, you keep the comfort, privacy and safety of your own car - the driver simply takes the wheel.
People hire acting drivers when they are tired after a long day, after a late-night function, for long highway trips, for elderly parents' hospital visits, or when their regular driver is on leave.
How hiring an acting driver with Guro works
Choose your trip - hourly, half day, full day, outstation or airport - pick the date and time, and share your pickup address. A verified partner agency assigns the best-matched driver near you, and you see the driver's name and photo before they arrive.
During the trip you and your family can track the car live. At the end you pay only for the driver's time at the published rate - extra hours at the hourly rate, with night charges between 10 PM and 6 AM.
Acting driver charges
Guro's acting driver charges start at ₹149 per hour (minimum 2 hours), ₹699 for half a day, ₹999 for a full 8-hour day and ₹1,499 per day for outstation trips. Fuel, tolls and parking are paid by you, and for outstation trips the driver's food and stay are arranged by the customer.
