Why Hire a Self Drive Car at Chandigarh Airport with ODAC24?
Your booking is handled by our own team here in the Tricity, not by an app. You talk to real people on WhatsApp or the phone, from the day you book to the day you return the car.
Car Ready When You Land
Book ahead and send us your flight details on WhatsApp. We'll have the car at the airport before you land, so there's no waiting around. We work 24/7, so early-morning and midnight flights are fine too.
Straight onto the Highway
The airport sits on PR-7 Airport Road, so you skip the city traffic lights. Head towards Zirakpur for the Himalayan Expressway to Shimla, or go via Kharar and Kiratpur for the road to Manali.
Quick Handover
Send your licence and ID on WhatsApp before you fly and we'll verify them in advance. At the airport you just check the car, sign the handover form and drive off.
FASTag and All-India Permit
Every car is less than 2 years old, has an active FASTag (you pay the toll charges) and carries an all-India tourist permit, so you can drive straight to Shimla, Manali or Dharamshala.

Chandigarh Airport to Shimla & Manali by Self Drive Car
A few things we tell every customer who picks up a car at the airport.
Watch Your Speed on Airport Road
PR-7 Airport Road is wide and tempting to speed on. Stick to the posted limit, especially near the junctions, until you join the national highway.
Route to Himachal from the Airport
Take Airport Road towards the Zirakpur bypass, cross the Panchkula flyover and join NH-5, the Himalayan Expressway. This keeps you out of Chandigarh city traffic.
Fill Up Before You Return
You'll find fuel stations along Airport Road. Return the car with the same fuel level it had at pickup, so top up on your way back.
Chandigarh Airport to Shimla
Shimla is about 120 km from the airport, roughly 3 to 4 hours depending on traffic and weather. Follow the route above to NH-5 and climb via Kalka and Solan.
Chandigarh Airport to Manali
Manali is about 300 km away, around 8 to 9 hours via Kharar, Kiratpur, Mandi and Kullu. Leave early, keep in mind that 200 km a day is included (extra km cost ₹10–15/km) and tell us before you leave the Tricity.
