Self-Drive Car Rental in Surajpole, Udaipur
Surajpole — the 18th-century 'Sun Gate' — is the eastern entry to Udaipur's old city and one of its busiest crossings. The main city bus stand sits right here, and the gate opens onto the bazaars and lanes that run toward City Palace and Jagdish Temple. It's the practical heart of town: markets, transport, and the shortest reach to every old-city sight, which makes it a common pickup point for travellers arriving by bus.

Getting around from Surajpole
Surajpole is where the old city meets the road network — the bus stand junction feeds the Chittorgarh highway east and the Hiran Magri sectors south, while the lanes west take you into City Palace and the lakes in a kilometre or two. That central position is its strength and its catch: it's the most direct base for the old-city sights but also the most congested, with bazaar and bus traffic through the day. For clean highway departures, head east toward NH48 rather than back through the gate.

Doorstep delivery in Surajpole

Why self-drive from Surajpole
As the old-city gateway and bus-stand hub, Surajpole is the closest you can base to City Palace, Jagdish Temple and Lake Pichola while still having a clean run east to Chittorgarh on the highway.
Self-drive car rental in Surajpole — FAQ
Can I get a self-drive car delivered at Surajpole or the bus stand?
Yes — hosts deliver to nearby hotels and the bus-stand area, which is ideal if you're arriving by bus. Because the old-city lanes are narrow, handover is often at a parking pocket just outside the gate.
How close is City Palace from Surajpole?
Very close — about 1.5-2 km into the old city, a 5-10 minute drive or a short walk through the bazaar.
Is Surajpole a good base for a Chittorgarh trip?
Yes — the Chittorgarh highway runs east straight from the bus-stand junction, putting the fort about two to two-and-a-half hours away.
How far is the railway station from Surajpole?
Roughly 2-3 km — usually 10 minutes or so, traffic depending.
