 | | The Basics of Renting a Car in Mumbai | | | The popular names in Mumbai car rentals include Hertz, Avis, Euro Cars, Car Hirers, Ketan Travels and Cool Cabs. Booking can be made over the telephone or online. Most companies also have immediate booths at the Mumbai International Airport but picking up a rental car there will be slightly more expensive than from other points in the city.
Before you select a company, if possible do some research on its reputation. Inquire as well about rates, whether chauffeurs are offered, air conditioning, insurance and mileage details. If you are traveling with a baby, check on the availability of a car seat well in advance. Many companies do not provide them so you may have to purchase one upon arrival in the city.
The streets of Mumbai are not always easy to navigate. You may even lose your way at times. Be sure to keep a map in the car, and do not be shy about asking for directions. Make prior arrangements on how you will get to the airport once you have returned the car. Some companies allow drop-offs at their airport centers for an additional charge. That can be an advantage if you are running late for your flight. | | | |  | | |
