Staying with family and new baby but made trips every day, mainly local.
Suzuki Amaze underpowered even for 2 passengers because of steep hills and constant need to slow for many speed bumps. Would rent from you a bigger car for ease of driving. Other renters at airport offer larger cars, did not see any in your lane so you may loose my custom.
