Documents & costs to keep ready before you drive

Car insurance: third-party cover is legally mandatory in India; comprehensive cover also protects you against accidents, theft, or damage on a long-distance drive like this one. Check your policy is valid before you leave, and compare renewal options if it's due soon.
PUC certificate: a valid Pollution Under Control certificate is required by law and can be checked at highway enforcement points.
RC & road tax: carry your Registration Certificate and keep road tax payments current for the state you're driving through.
FASTag balance: keep enough balance loaded — a low or expired FASTag gets charged double at toll plazas on routes with multiple tolls.
Driving licence: carry the original, and a digital copy via DigiLocker as backup.
Financed vehicle: if you're still paying EMIs, keep your loan/EMI schedule and NOC handy — useful if you're stopped for a document check.
