Inexpensive, easy to drive and with excellent mileage, it’s little wonder compact cars are the most booked rental category in Kochi. Explore this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or short road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!

Kochi has lots to offer — but there’s even more to discover in the surrounding area. Get behind the wheel of a rental car and drive around the region at your own speed. Make room in your itinerary for these adventure-filled destinations:

• Coimbatore is 130 kilometres away and has tons to keep you busy. To begin with, there’s Dhyanalinga, Marudhamalai Hill Temple and ISKCON Coimbatore. Your trickiest decision here will be choosing what to do first!
• No good Kochi road trip is complete without exploring Thiruvananthapuram, around 130 kilometres from Kochi. Drop by Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram Zoo and Samudra Beach Park before continuing on your merry way.

The youngest age you can rent a car in Kochi is 18. A surcharge for young drivers applies, so check before booking and budget for any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between suppliers, so look over the fine print.

Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental companies, so read through your policy.

In Kochi and across India, you’ll need to drive on the left. This alone can be daunting, but the driver’s seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you’re used to. For a safe journey, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to get to your next stop.

Many countries require an International Driving Permit for foreigners to drive legally, so apply for one if you plan to hit the road in Kochi. This permit must be carried with your current U.S. license. It’s highly recommended you obtain this permit before leaving the U.S.
