The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Bangalore are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Fortuner, Chrysler Journey, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota 4Runner, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in India ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in India are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
The only thing that can make Indian drivers stop is a cow crossing the road. Neither a huge number of pedestrians nor the signals of traffic lights are able to produce a similar effect. As soon as the sacred animal sets foot on the road, all cars stop immediately, and everyone is waiting patiently until the animal leaves the road and the path is free again.
There are especially many cows on the road in the evening, when the asphalt, which is still warm after a hot day, is the most attractive place of rest for the animals. Sometimes a cow can stand in the middle of the road, blocking the traffic. None of the drivers will get out of the car to scare the animal, and no one will honk - such actions are simply prohibited here.
Dogs are no less dangerous for drivers in India because these animals often run on the road. They are not afraid of cars and large buses, and, in contrast to cows, drivers rarely stop to give way to dogs.
