Preparations for G-20 Summit in Delhi
Preparations are underway for the G-20 summit in Delhi and surrounding areas, with the event scheduled to take place from 8th to 10th September. As the date approaches, the demand for luxury cars has significantly increased, resulting in a surge in rental prices. Delhi-based car rental agencies are witnessing a continuous rise in bookings for luxury vehicles, particularly from tour and travel businessmen. To meet the demand, rental agencies are now arranging cars from cities like Agra, Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Udaipur.
Importing Luxury Cars for Foreign Guests
The Ministry of External Affairs has reportedly requested 150 luxury cars to be imported from other states for foreign guests attending the G-20 summit. The preparations for the summit are in full swing, as heads of many countries are expected to arrive in Delhi at the beginning of next month. To ensure adequate transportation arrangements, vehicles worth crores are being arranged by the authorities. Notably, a Delhi-based rental firm has purchased a Mercedes Maybach worth 3 crores, which can be rented for 8 hours at a cost of 60 thousand rupees. During the G-20 summit, the rental price for one day is expected to be up to two and a half lakh rupees.

Luxury cars such as Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes E Class, BMW 5 Series, and more are witnessing a continuous rise in demand from travel agencies during the summit. Expensive SUVs like Mercedes GLS and Audi Q7, as well as Toyota Commuter, Toyota Coaster, Mercedes Sprinter Coaster, Mercedes Sprinter, and Force Urbania, are also experiencing high demand.
