The myths around the service of self-drive car India

The service of self-drive car rental is quite new in India. Nowadays, the service operates only in the major cities of the country. It is yet to roll out in the markets of the small towns. Being new in market, there are several misconceptions regarding the service. Here, we would bust a few myths people have about self-drive car rental services.

Myths about self-drive car services in India:

1.      Hiring self-drive cars is expensive in India

This is one of the commonest myths regarding the self drive car India rental service. This misconception probably comes from the fact these services are new in the market. However, if you think deeply, you would understand that these services would definitely be cheaper than the services of car rental which come with drivers. In case of self-drive car rental services, you don’t need to pay the service fee of the driver. However, you would be required to submit an amount of security deposit, which varies from service to service. Needless to say, you would get the amount back as soon as you return the rented car.

2.      You do not get the car of your choice

Many people think that you book a car for self-drive, you would be provided with any car just like when you book a cab with a driver. But, in case of the service of self-drive car rental, you get the additional service of choosing your own car. If you have special liking for any car brand, and want that car for your trip, you need just to ask the service manager, and if it is available, you would definitely get it.

3.      You are responsible for any damage of the car

This is a misconception which deters many people from hiring a self-drive car. They think that in the absence of the driver, if the car breaks down, the damage cost should be borne by you. But, in practicality, this is not the case. In fact, it is the responsibility of the car rental service to provide you a perfectly working and well serviced car. They should guarantee that the car would not show any problem on the way. However, if it unfortunately breaks down and you get it repaired, you would just need to show a valid cash memo, and you will be reimbursed.

4.      You do not get cars to go outstation

Many people think that these services are confined within the borders of cities only, which is a misconception.  The car rental services give out car for outstation road trips and also encourage the practice among youth in their promotional activities. If you take a self drive car rental in Noida, you can not only take it all around the NCR region, but also the tourist places from all over Northern India.
