Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Chennai?
Budget car rentals started at per day in Chennai, based on prices within the past seven days. With rates like this, we make it easy to grab some keys and cruise away for less.
What happens if I need to cancel my Chennai car reservation?
Good news! You should be given a full refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours prior to the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to scan the policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Chennai?
Premium, full-size, intermediate … The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Chennai. If you’d like something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a great choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer a little more room than economy rides and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Chennai?
Book a rental car, pick up the keys and discover all Chennai has to offer. But with tons of things to see in the surrounding areas, don’t let that be the end of the road! Set your sat-nav to some of the other happening places in the region:

  • Home to sights and activities galore, Tirupati is approximately 105 kilometres from Chennai. First pit stop? Head straight for Venkateshvara Temple, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Around 129 kilometres away, Vellore is another city worth putting on your road trip itinerary. Don’t forget to stop by Sripuram Golden Temple during your visit.
  • No visit is complete without spending time at Lalbagh Botanical Gardens. This gorgeous nature spot is approximately 274 kilometres from Chennai. Relax and breathe in the fresh air!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chennai?
Drivers 18 and above can hit the road in Chennai in a rental car. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge applies.

Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Chennai?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your home provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chennai?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Chennai drive on the left. Having the driver’s seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.

Yes, and you’re sure to find your ideal wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll show you excellent offers from various quality companies.
Where can I find a Chennai car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
