How to get cheap car hire in Chennai, India?

Reasonable price is what almost every renter wants to get. Read our tips to learn how to hire a car in Chennai, India cheaper:

  • Book your vehicle as early as possible. Your car hire may cost less if you book it 7-10 days prior to the journey.
  • Plan to start your trip on a weekday. This will allow you to reduce the daily cost of a vehicle.
  • Travel as long as possible. As a rule, the longer the period of rental, the lower the price of each day. Consequently, the total cost of a 7-day car hire may be lower than what you pay for 5-6 days.
  • Benefit from a small car. Obviously, the smaller the vehicle, the cheaper it is. Plus, you can further save on fuel.
  • Pick up and return the car to the same location. One-way car hire is not considered to be a budget-friendly option, so avoid it if possible.

Which car hire class is the most popular in Chennai, India?

Most often, travellers hire 7 seat people carrier cars in Chennai, India. The 7 seat people carrier car rate starts from £66 per day. The cheapest vehicle of this size is Toyota Innova or similar provided by Avis in Chennai, India.

Another must-have protection is SLI. It cancels your liability in case of property damage/personal injury caused to third parties.
