When you visit Karnataka, you want to see every bit of landscape and culture at your fingertips.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Karnataka car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That’s why we offer your money back on the majority of rentals if canceled six hours prior to pickup. Remember to double-check your cancellation policy — in some cases it’s not an option. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Karnataka?
Look into an intermediate. The most booked rental category in Karnataka, these vehicles are bigger than a compact and smaller than a full-size. You’ll get excellent mileage and affordability without having to give up comfort. Road-tripping beyond Karnataka? A spacious full-size or even a premium option may be more your style. For shorter journeys, our economy and compact cars are ideal.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Karnataka with Expedia?
Whatever type of wheels you’re looking for, Expedia will help you nab the best deal. Compare the offers from reliable rental suppliers and select the option that works for you. Like to drive away with even more in your wallet? Combine your Karnataka car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Karnataka?
If you’re aged 18 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Karnataka. Take note that most rental suppliers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any problems when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Karnataka?
You’ll generally require a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules may differ between rental providers, so be sure to check before you book.
Can I drive in Karnataka with my U.S. Driver's license?
In Karnataka, you won’t be able to drive with your U.S. License alone. To legally get into the driver’s seat here, arrange an International Driving Permit before you leave home.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Karnataka?
Whether you’re planning to stick around Karnataka or travel beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Karnataka car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a little research. Found a Karnataka supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
