FAQ

Self-drive car rental questions in India

What is the price of a self-drive car in India?

Self-drive car rental prices in India typically range from ₹999 to ₹1,500 per day for hatchbacks, ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 per day for sedans and ₹2,500 to ₹4,500 per day for SUVs. Every car on this page shows its exact per-day price, so there are no hidden charges. Fuel is charged separately and insurance is included.

What documents are required to rent a self-drive car?

You need a valid Indian driving licence, a government ID such as Aadhaar or a passport for verification, and a refundable security deposit. The exact deposit amount and any additional verification steps are confirmed by the operator when you book.

How much security deposit do I need for a self-drive car?

Security deposits for self-drive cars usually range from ₹5,000 to ₹20,000 depending on the car category. Hatchbacks sit at the lower end of the range while premium sedans and SUVs need a higher deposit. The deposit is refunded once the car is returned without damage and on time.

Is a driver included in self-drive car rental?

No. Self-drive car rental means the car is rented to you without a driver. If you need a chauffeur-driven car, most operators can arrange one separately, but all vehicles listed on this page are self-drive only.

How many kilometres are included in the daily rental?

Most self-drive operators include free kilometres per day, typically around 80 km, and charge an excess per kilometre beyond that limit. The exact free-km allowance and excess km charge vary by operator and are shared before you confirm the booking.

Can I rent a self-drive car for a month?

Yes. Monthly self-drive car rentals are available in most cities and work out cheaper than booking day by day. Monthly plans typically cost between ₹18,000 and ₹35,000 depending on the car model. Message the operator on WhatsApp to get a long-term quote.

How do I book a self-drive car online?

Pick your city, choose a car from the available inventory, tap the Book button and your details open in a pre-filled WhatsApp message, or complete the online booking form. The operator confirms your trip and blocks the car for your dates instantly.
