What documents are required to rent a car in India?

For self-drive: valid driving licence (minimum 1 year old), Aadhaar Card or Passport as ID proof, and a refundable security deposit. For chauffeur-driven: any valid government ID is sufficient — no DL required from the customer. International tourists need an IDP (International Driving Permit) along with their home country licence.

What is the difference between self-drive and chauffeur-driven car rental?

Self-drive means you drive the car yourself — ideal for road trips, flexible schedules, and lower cost. Chauffeur-driven means a professional driver comes with the car — ideal for airport transfers, business travel, weddings, and outstation trips where you want to relax. Both options are available across 250+ cities on TransRentals.

Can I take a rental car for an outstation trip from one city to another?

Yes, outstation one-way and round-trip bookings are available. Popular routes: Delhi–Agra (230 km), Mumbai–Pune (150 km), Bangalore–Mysore (150 km). One-way rentals are 30–40% cheaper than round trips. Confirm outstation permission with the vendor before booking.

What is typically included in the car rental price?

Standard inclusions vary by booking type. Self-drive packages include vehicle + km allowance (100–300 km/day). Chauffeur-driven includes vehicle + driver + driver allowance. Extra charges typically apply for: excess km, airport toll surcharges, night driving charges, and inter-state permits. Check the quote summary carefully before confirming.

Are there any age restrictions for renting a car in India?

For self-drive: minimum age is 18 years with a valid DL. Most vendors prefer renters above 21 for SUV categories. DL must be at least 1 year old. For chauffeur-driven, there is no age restriction for the passenger.

What happens if the rental car breaks down during the trip?

All TransRentals-listed vendors provide 24/7 roadside assistance. In case of a breakdown, call the vendor immediately — they will arrange for on-road support or a replacement vehicle depending on availability. Document the breakdown with photos before any assistance arrives.

Is fuel included in the car rental price?

For self-drive: fuel is typically NOT included — most vendors operate on a full-to-full policy (you receive the car with a full tank and return it full). For chauffeur-driven outstation trips: fuel is included in the per-km rate. For local city packages (8 hr / 80 km): fuel may or may not be included — confirm at booking.
