Self drive car rentals in India

Jul 02, 2008

The concept of self drive is still in a nascent stage in India. Unlike west, manpower is pretty cheap here and coupled with the facts that driving in India is best left to professional drivers, the idea of self drive car rentals doesn’t seem to have really taken off. While in every street you’ll find couple of travel agencies offering Sumos, Qualis and Indicas for rent, the number of car rental agencies who dare to give their machines on self drive is very very few. Also, driving is not considered a respectable job and drivers are treated at par with watchmen, cleaner and such other unskilled or semi skilled jobs.

Many of us do not have an idea what self drive is and if that option is really available in India.Recently I took a Skoda Octavia on self drive rental for 3 days from Hertz India franchisee, Carzonrent. (My trip experience).

Based on this experience and general observation and knowledge, I am listing some notes which will be useful to travelers considering self drive options in India.
