How do I find the best car rental deals in Kolkata with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Kolkata car rental with hotel or flight bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kolkata?
Drivers 18 and above can go road-tripping around Kolkata in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Kolkata?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kolkata?
If you're renting a car in Kolkata or planning a road trip in greater India, remember that you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kolkata?
Yes. Expedia partners with reputable companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Kolkata — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Kolkata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Kolkata outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
