Self Drive Car Rental in Rajkot: Local Guide
Rajkot sits at the centre of Saurashtra, which makes a self-drive car the most flexible way to see the region. You choose the hours, the stops and the pace, with no driver or fixed itinerary. TransRentals lets you compare self-drive cars from local vendors, so you can pick a hatchback for city errands or something roomier for a family trip. Check the listings for your dates; if none show, send an enquiry, and nearby cities may have options.
Getting around Rajkot by car
Rajkot is a busy commercial city with a lot of two-wheeler traffic, especially around the market areas and the Race Course Ring Road. A compact car is easier to park and manoeuvre in older neighbourhoods, while the wider ring roads suit longer drives. Sights worth a stop include Ranjit Vilas Palace, the Watson Museum and Kaba Gandhi No Delo, the house where Mahatma Gandhi spent part of his youth.
Drives from Rajkot
Saurashtra is full of destinations that are far easier with your own car than with buses. Popular choices include:
- Junagadh, with Girnar hill and the old fort and edicts.
- Gir National Park country, home to the Asiatic lion.
- Somnath and Dwarka for the coastal temple circuit.
- Jamnagar and Morbi, both with their own heritage and markets.
Documents and deposit
You will need a valid driving licence for four-wheelers and a government photo ID. Vendors usually ask for a refundable security deposit, and the amount and method are set by each vendor, so read the listing before you book. Many vendors also ask you to inspect the car and photograph any existing marks at pick-up.
Driving tips for Rajkot and Saurashtra
Watch for cattle, auto-rickshaws and two-wheelers stopping suddenly, particularly on market roads. Highways are generally good, but rural stretches can have unlit sections and speed breakers without warning, so plan to reach your destination in daylight where you can. Confirm the fuel policy with the vendor and return the car in the condition you collected it.
