KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Mumbai
- Car hire in Mumbai is the preferred means of transport if you want to have the independence of your own transport and also the option to take a day trip further out of the city. Public transport is readily available but it is extremely busy and congested and you will be much more comfortable in your own car. If you want to take a quick road trip to explore some of the picturesque scenery then Mumbai car hire is a win. Drive to Lonavala in the Western Ghats for a relaxing day filled with waterfalls, forests and lakes. You can get here in 1h30 min. There are also other day trip options like the coastal town of Alibaug for some sea and sun.
- You can hire your rental car from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport In Mumbai using SS Travels. Make sure you pre book through KAYAK as there aren’t many car rental companies at the airport. You can either pick up your car from the terminal or a shuttle service to the airport. The travel time into Mumbai Central is around 45 minutes depending on traffic.
- Driving a hire car in Mumbai is stressful, so be sure to brush up on the road rules and try to avoid heavy traffic areas and peak times. Follow the basic road rules and be alert to public transport like buses and rickshaws and the many motorbikes on the road. Obey the speed limits and try plan your routes the day before you so you don’t get lost or end up in traffic you will be stuck in all day long.
- Mumbai is known to be a very stressful driving experience with hundreds of buses, motorbikes, rickshaws and pedestrians you will need to navigate around.

If you are staying in central Mumbai and not venturing further it might be a good idea to get a smaller compact car so you can navigate in and out of tight situations easily. However, it also will be a good idea for some sort of SUV car hire to navigate damaged dirt roads or potholes and give you extra space and luggage room for day trips out of the city.

When travelling on inner city roads and two laned roads your speed limit varies from 75kmph to 80kmph. When travelling on the main highways and motorways with 4 lanes, your speed limit is 100kmph. Make sure you check the road signs as speed limits can change at a second and also use your common sense, as if you feel you need to slow down to prevent accidents in busy areas, do so for safety.

Pros:
Nothing! My plan got ruined offCons:
Booked car for 5 AM pickup at Bombay airport. Nobody showed up at meet and greet area(which is what the booking said) and calls to the local number given was not of any use as the phone was switched off all the time. Also there is no such office in that place which was mentioned in the google maps. Worst customer service I have ever seen before and totally pissed off as all my plans for the day got spoiled.SS Travels
