How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimla?

Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimla?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimla?
In Shimla, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and pay extra attention while out on the road.

Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and book a ride that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Shimla car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies operating in Shimla. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
