What the Daily Rent Includes
ODAC24 Guide- 200 km per day. A 3-day rental includes 600 km, and you can use them however you like across the trip.
- 24/7 support for the whole rental.
- Free delivery in the Tricity. Delivery is free; only the driver and fuel costs apply, so please call to confirm. The Chandigarh Airport car rental price is the same as in the city.
What Can Add to the Bill
ODAC24 Guide- Fuel. Our fuel policy is same-to-same: you get the car with a recorded fuel level and return it at the same level. You only pay for the fuel you use. If you return it with less, you pay for the missing fuel plus a ₹200 refuelling charge.
- Extra kilometres. Anything above 200 km per day costs ₹10–15/km, depending on the car.
- Tolls and parking on your route, which you pay as you go.
- Late return. There is a 1-hour grace period. After that, it's ₹200–₹400 per hour for up to 4 hours, and then a full extra day. If you need more time, tell us at least 2 hours before your return time and we'll extend the booking.
The Security Deposit
ODAC24 GuideThe deposit depends on the car:
- ₹5,000 for most cars, from the Alto K10 up to the Thar, Scorpio N and Innova Crysta
- ₹10,000 for the Toyota Fortuner, Fortuner Legender and Fortuner Legender 4x4
- ₹50,000 for the Jeep Rubicon
- ₹1,00,000 for the Land Rover Defender
You get the deposit back instantly when you return the car, after a quick inspection. There is no waiting period.
What a Trip Actually Costs
ODAC24 GuideHere is what the rent works out to for a few common trips. Fuel and tolls depend on your car and route, so they are on top.
A day in the city
Maruti Alto K10 for 1 day: ₹1,200 rent. Running around Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula rarely comes close to the 200 km you get.
A weekend in Kasauli for two
Maruti Baleno for 2 days: ₹4,000 rent. The round trip is roughly 130 to 150 km, well within the 400 km included.
A family trip to Shimla
Toyota Innova Crysta for 3 days: ₹13,500 rent. The round trip is about 230 km plus some local driving, comfortably inside the 600 km included.
Five days in Manali
Hyundai Creta for 5 days: ₹17,500 rent. Chandigarh to Manali and back is around 600 km. Add local sightseeing and you're usually still inside the 1,000 km included.
How to Keep the Cost Down
ODAC24 Guide- Pick the right size. Two people don't need an SUV for a city weekend. A hatchback is cheaper to rent and lighter on fuel.
- Book early for long weekends. The most popular cars go first, and you'll have more choice if you book ahead.
- Plan your kilometres. Check the rough distance of your trip so you know whether you'll go over 200 km a day.
- Return with the same fuel level. It saves you the ₹200 refuelling charge.
- Extend instead of returning late. A planned extension is simpler than paying late charges by the hour.
- Split it. A 7-seater shared by six friends often costs each person less than bus or taxi fares.
