Budget Car Rentals in India

Car rentals in India have come off age in the last few years, with the development of the country and growth of the economy the industry has multiplied manifolds. This growth has not only taken place in the luxury segment of rented cars but also the budget segments. The budget segment of rented cars was usually dominated by the Ambassador which was ideal for a small to a relatively big family to travel together.

However with the advent of other mass produced cars like the Sumo and the indica, the Ambassador seems to have fallen out of favour of the Indian consumer. cars like indica provide a greater value for money and a high mileage to override the maintenance cost which is associated with these vehicles.

Sumo on the other hand provides a comfortable option for a large or extended family to travel together. It is a common sight to see these vehicles being used by pilgrims in different parts of the country to visit the various religious places that are there. The IT and IT enabled service companies also hire these cars to ferry their employees across the city to the respective offices. The cars are generally hired on a contract basis and are paid accordingly. cars which are meant for individual usage can be booked for a minimum period of time exceeding which a person will be charged on the usage of the vehicle.

Unfortunately in the budget car segment you will not be allowed to be on your own with the car as you have to avail the services of the chauffeur provided by the car operator.

Some of the most popular budget cars in India would include

• Tata indica
• HM Ambassador
• Tata Sumo
