Swing by our Arumbakkam office or ask for doorstep delivery. Show your licence and ID, sign off on the condition report, and you are all set.

Honest Pricing

What Each Car Actually Costs

These are our starting figures. The final number you pay can move a little depending on which car is available, how many days you need it, and the time of year.

Vehicle Category Seats Self-Drive / Day Chauffeur / Day Outstation / KM Deposit
Maruti Swift Economy 5 ₹1,499 ₹1,800 ₹10/km ₹5,000
Hyundai i20 Economy 5 ₹1,599 ₹1,900 ₹11/km ₹5,000
Maruti Dzire Sedan 5 ₹1,799 ₹2,000 ₹12/km ₹5,000
Honda City Sedan 5 ₹2,199 ₹2,500 ₹14/km ₹7,000
Toyota Etios Sedan 5 ₹1,699 ₹1,900 ₹12/km ₹5,000
Maruti Ertiga SUV / MUV 7 ₹2,499 ₹2,800 ₹14/km ₹7,000

A few things to keep in mind: Every number in the table above is a starting rate — actual pricing hinges on availability. Self-drive bookings come with 200 km per day built in; go beyond that and extra-km charges kick in. Chauffeur rates assume an 8-hour / 80 km local window. If you are driving yourself, fuel is on you. Tolls, parking, and interstate permits sit outside the rental fee for every package. Applicable GST will be added.

What You Get & What You Don't

Included vs. Charged Separately

We want you to know exactly where your money goes. Here is a clear split between what is already part of the rental and what falls outside it.

✓ Already Part of Your Rental

  • ✓ Full insurance cover on the vehicle
  • ✓ Round-the-clock roadside help if anything goes wrong
  • ✓ Up to 200 km each day for self-drive bookings
  • ✓ Thorough cleaning and sanitisation before handover
  • ✓ Routine servicing and upkeep of the car
  • ✓ A spare wheel and an emergency toolkit in the boot
  • ✓ Driver batta covered for chauffeur packages
  • ✓ Home delivery within Chennai for select models

⚠ Costs That Sit Outside the Rental

  • ⚠ Petrol or diesel — you fill the tank yourself on self-drive
  • ⚠ Toll booth fees and parking charges along the way
  • ⚠ Permits needed for crossing state borders
  • ⚠ Kilometres driven beyond your daily 200 km cap
  • ⚠ Hours used past the chauffeur package window
  • ⚠ Late-night surcharge between 10 PM and 6 AM (chauffeur)
  • ⚠ Any traffic challans picked up during your rental
  • ⚠ Repair costs for damage that goes beyond everyday wear

Got Questions?

Things People Usually Ask Us

Before you book, here are straight answers to the stuff that comes up again and again.

Bring your original Indian driving licence — it has to cover the category of car you are renting. Along with that, we need an Aadhar card or passport as proof of identity, plus the security deposit amount. If you hold a foreign passport, carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) and your passport together.
If you are driving yourself, no — you handle your own fuel. When you book a chauffeur for local travel, fuel is part of the package as long as you stay within the 8-hour / 80 km window. On outstation chauffeur trips, the per-km rate generally has fuel baked into it.
For self-drive, the shortest booking we take is 24 hours. If you want a chauffeur, the minimum is a single local package — that is 8 hours and 80 km — or one outstation journey.
For certain models, absolutely. We can bring the car to your home or office anywhere inside Chennai city limits. There might be a small delivery fee depending on how far you are from our base — just ask when you book and we will confirm.
Call our helpline right away — it is active 24 hours a day, every day. Depending on what went wrong, we will either send a mechanic to you or swap the car out for another one. If the issue is a genuine mechanical fault and not something caused by misuse, you will not pay a single rupee for it.
Yes, but you need to tell us beforehand so we can sort out the interstate permit. There is an extra charge for the permit itself. Mention your destination when you book, and we will have everything ready by the time you pick up the car.
Pretty much any way you like — UPI apps such as Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm; direct bank transfers through NEFT or IMPS; credit or debit cards; or plain cash at our office. The deposit can go through any of those channels too. You will always get a digital receipt.
There is — 200 km per day is the standard limit. Go past that and you will be charged per extra kilometre, usually somewhere between ₹8 and ₹20 depending on the car. If you book for a week or a month, the total allowance goes up quite a bit — drop us a message for exact numbers.
Cancel more than 48 hours ahead and you get every rupee back. Between 24 and 48 hours, we hold back 25 percent. Inside 24 hours, the charge rises to 50 percent. If you simply do not show up, the full amount is forfeited. The complete breakdown is on our Cancellation & Refund page.
Yes to both. A child safety seat costs ₹200 per day and a GPS navigation device is ₹150 per day. Mention it when you make the booking so we can keep one aside for you — they go on a first-come basis.

"We took an Innova Crysta down to Pondicherry for the weekend. The car was immaculate inside and out, and the driver knew the route like the back of his hand. When we got the final bill, it matched the quote exactly — nothing extra tacked on."

"I have been renting a Swift from them almost every other weekend for the past few months. The car always feels freshly serviced, and picking it up from their office barely takes ten minutes — paperwork and all."

Priya M.

★★★★☆

"Needed a Camry for a client visit in the city. The car showed up spotless, the chauffeur was already waiting five minutes early, and he was dressed sharply. Made a solid impression on our guests."
