Kolhapur is one of the few Indian district towns that is not a city (esp. with the name Kolhapur). It was a conglomeration of numerous "talukas" (towns) that were later incorporated into the Municipal Corporation to form a city.

Savaari and Clear Automobile Rental are two of the several car rental services in Kolhapur. While they do give chauffeured cars, you can choose to drive yourself if you are familiar with the city's roads and directions.
Kolhapur's sights may be seen by foot. Explore the temples, enjoy the famous Kolhapuri cuisine, and browse for chappals while walking around. Summers are quite hot, and monsoons make walking tough; therefore, local transportation is a better choice during these seasons.
