Self Drive Cars for Punjab Trips from Chandigarh

Punjab is one of the easiest road-trip regions to reach from the Chandigarh Tricity. Fatehgarh Sahib, Patiala and Anandpur Sahib are short drives away, Ludhiana works as a day trip, and Amritsar makes a comfortable two-day journey. With a self drive car you leave when you want, stop at dhabas and gurdwaras on the way, and keep your family, luggage and plans together in one car.

ODAC24 is a self drive car rental company based in the Chandigarh Tricity. You pick up the car from one of our Tricity hubs (or get it delivered), drive it yourself across Punjab, and return it in the Tricity.

Choose the hub closest to you:

• Sector 46C, Chandigarh (HQ, Booth No. 119, Market)
• Mohali Phase 7
• Panchkula Sector 5
• Zirakpur VIP Road
• Kharar / Chandigarh University

Delivery is free. Only the driver and fuel costs apply. Please call to confirm. Bookings, pickup, delivery and support are available 24/7.

Road distances below are approximate and measured from Chandigarh:

• Fatehgarh Sahib (about 50 km): Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, an easy half-day trip.
• Patiala (about 70 km): Qila Mubarak, the Sheesh Mahal and Patiala's famous food. A relaxed day trip.
• Anandpur Sahib (about 90 km): Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib and the Virasat-e-Khalsa museum, via Ropar.
• Ludhiana (about 100 km): shopping, business visits and family functions. Easy to do as a day trip.
• Jalandhar (about 150 km): a comfortable highway drive for weddings and family visits.
• Amritsar (about 230 km, 4 to 5 hours each way): the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), Jallianwala Bagh and the Attari–Wagah border ceremony. Plan at least two days.

• Every rental includes 200 km per day. Extra kilometres cost ₹10–15/km, depending on the car.
• Example: an Amritsar round trip is about 460 km. A 2-day rental includes 400 km, so expect around 60 extra km, or take a 3-day rental if you want time for sightseeing.
• Fuel is same-to-same: return the car with the fuel level recorded at pickup.

• Couples and small families: hatchbacks such as the Maruti Alto K10, Hyundai i20 and Maruti Baleno are easy on fuel and simple to park in busy city centres. Prices start at ₹1,200/day.
• Comfortable highway drives: sedans such as the Maruti Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze and Honda City give more boot space for long trips.
• Big families with luggage: 7-seaters such as the Toyota Innova Crysta and Mahindra Scorpio Classic.
• Weddings and special occasions: the Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Fortuner Legender.
