Travel Tips for a Smooth Self‑Drive Experience

  • Get ready - here’s some useful tips so your time exploring Chennai goes smoothly without any hiccups. Instead of rushing in, take a moment to check these out.
  • Look at your path: Streets near Chennai might get packed - figure out spots where cars slow down getting downtown, especially when rush hour hits.
  • Fuel rules and where to park: Check whether you must refill before drop-off, also ask about mileage limits - we break down every cost so nothing’s hidden
  • Check how the car looks when you get it - jot down scratches or dings to skip mix-ups later on.
  • Learn the area’s laws: In Tamil Nadu, traffic rules count - carry your licence, ID, plus a copy of the rental deal inside the vehicle. If you go too fast or get tickets, that’s on you. For example a beach-side drive or heritage sites are reachable with ease.
  • Return smoothly: Allow buffer time for drop-off, especially if your departure flight is close. It’s better to be early than rush.
