The heat is tolerable when you're driving. I would not advise skipping drives, so you don't repeat our mistake which was skipping one afternoon drive to relax by the step-well, only to have people return from that drive thrilled with a spectacular tiger sighting. We made up for it with leopard sightings (more rare apparently) in Sariska during a fantastic day out from Amanbagh. And we still really enjoyed Aman-i-Khas. but it was somewhat irritating
Also agree with the above - there isn't much advantage to a private car. We do take private vehicles in Africa but don't think it's necessary here due to the standard roads and relatively small vehicles anyway.
