Rentals & hire in India: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

In India, the prices we found are for vehicle hire: car hire starts from about ₹1,750 a day, a hatchback in Hyderabad costs ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 a day, and a sedan or SUV ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 a day, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Prices for tools, costumes, camera or event gear are not in the figures we found, so send a request on BlaBlaPrice and get a quote for your exact item and days.

Documents and deposits

Car hire companies ask for a passport and a valid driving licence, and some want a bank card for the advance payment, while others require a credit card. Expect a security deposit, insurance or damage protection, and a kilometre limit. Check the kilometre limit against the distance of your trip, for example between Mumbai and Delhi, before you book.

Hiring out your own vehicle

If you plan to hire out vehicles yourself, the Rent-a-Cab Scheme requires a ₹5,000 licence application fee, along with state and business registrations. Caravans are a separate case: one with a driver and helper is quoted from ₹20,000 a day, including fuel, tolls and taxes, so check what each quote includes.

Season and road trips

India's climate is tropical and hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no winter or summer peak for hire. Air conditioning matters in any car, so state it in your request. Check the weather for the wet season before a long road trip, because rain can change routes and travel times.

What to write in your request

Name the item, the number of days and the dates, and the city where you need it. For a vehicle, add the kilometres you expect, the type of car and whether you need a driver, as a caravan price already includes one. For tools, costumes or event gear, say how many pieces you need and whether you want delivery or pickup. Give your budget in rupees per day, so the replies are easy to compare.
