Getting about by public transport in Mumbai can often be a headache and the good road network allows for faster access if you have your own car. There are five major car rental companies as well as smaller, local agencies that operate from Mumbai International Airport, all of which are listed below.
The car rental firms at Mumbai Airport are run by private agencies and rental desks can be found in the arrivals areas of both terminals. We recommend booking ahead of time to avoid disappointment during busy periods.
Car Rental, Driving and Parking in Mumbai
With poor signposts and a steady flow of traffic, driving in the heart of Mumbai is only suitable for the most experienced of drivers. All car rental companies at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport require that you first obtain an International Driving Permit. Local Indian drivers in the city of Mumbai seem to enjoy using their horns and be warned at night time, as some choose not to use their lights.
Many of the roads outside of the city are in need of repair and potholes are by no means uncommon. However, routes to surrounding cities and towns can be extremely scenic and the nearby coastline is full of popular attractions. Those intending to park their hire cars in central Mumbai will find that spaces can be somewhat illusive. Most car parks are located underground and close to shopping centres, with popular garages including those situated on the Oval Maidan and also at the Shivaji Park.
