Compare each leg from hotel door to hotel door. Train fares and car prices cover different parts of the journey. A train option may need two local transfers and a separate sightseeing vehicle. A car quote may offer route flexibility but can price extra kilometres and stop time separately.
When train works well
Check schedules and confirmed availability for the exact stations. Add travel to the station, luggage handling and the pickup at the other end. Check whether the arrival time works with the hotel. If you want a stop between cities, price it separately or place it on another day. Indian Railways train enquiry
When a private car works well
Ask for the vehicle class and luggage capacity for the actual group. Confirm pickup and drop-off, the included days and charges for tolls, parking, driver and any extra distance. Ask what happens if sightseeing takes longer than planned.
A combination can also work. Use rail for the leg where the schedule suits you and book local or intercity transport where you need more flexibility. Compare the whole route and the total for the party before choosing.
