Do NRIs need a car in Kerala?
A personal vehicle is highly recommended for NRIs in Kerala, especially outside Kochi city. Public transport is available but may not match the convenience expected by returning NRIs. Kochi Metro is excellent for city travel. App cabs are available in major cities. Consider buying a car or converting your foreign driving licence to an Indian licence.
