  • Look into booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a bargain if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Discover the best available rates for a car for rent in Chandigarh by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a car hire in Chandigarh that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your ride with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you're only paying for what you use.

Compare car hire types in Chandigarh

  • Small: Whether you're navigating busy cities or just planning a quick trip, a cheap rental car in Chandigarh from this category offers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can look forward to good fuel efficiency and easy handling.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, it's the definition of just right. Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of fuel efficiency and interior space and are popular with small families and couples.

  • Large: You've got the kids, the luggage, the snacks, the lot. Large vehicles have got the space to handle it all without breaking a sweat. Ideal for long-distance trips, this Chandigarh car hire category includes full-size cars.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but is something to think about. If your car is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying an expensive excess fee. Different Chandigarh car hire providers have different insurance policies and cover levels, so check the terms before booking.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can make every mile feel easier. Think about which extras will suit your needs when you rent a car in Chandigarh.

Good to know

  • Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in India may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • If you've got the kids in tow, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Chandigarh car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.
