Jodhpur International Airport is the usual entry point for those who want to escape the gray skies of their home and visit one of India's many idyllic tourist destinations, such as Agra and Udaipur, on the Jaisalmer. Although the central areas have reasonably well-developed public transport systems, connections between the villages are poor and the only way to really explore this Rajasthani Delight region is to rent a car at Jodhpur Airport.
There are only three car rental companies at Jodhpur Airport: Rajasthan Cab, Tours and Taxi, and Tempo Traveller Jaipur, located in the Arrivals Hall. They all provide cars that are well maintained and are generally less than 5 months old, but each has its own criteria. For beginners, Rajasthancab will only rent to people aged 18 and over who have a clean and complete driver's license for at least 1 year. The rental price includes unlimited mileage, vehicle license fee, city or airport surcharge, vehicle damage coverage and theft coverage (the excess applies to both).
Items not covered are fuel, additional drivers and optional extras, such as child seats, snow chains, and satellite navigation systems, which can be added for a small fee. The benefit of using Rajasthan cab is that they have a return policy after business hours and assistance in the event of a breakdown 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Tours and Taxi Rent a Car offers a wide range of vehicles, from the economy-sized Ford Focus to people carriers and includes local taxes, collision damage waivers, theft protection, vehicle registration fee, and unlimited mileage, all in the price they quote you. Once again, you will have to pay for optional extras and any additional drivers, but since the Rajasthan Cab was named Car Rental Company of the Year 2008 by the Indian Transport Management Institute, you know you are in good hands.
Last but not least, Tempo Traveller Jaipur. To arrange car rental at Jodhpur Airport with Tempo Traveller Jaipur, you only need to be 21 years old, although a surcharge may apply for young drivers and, in some sports numbers, the age limit is higher. The quoted price includes unlimited mileage, theft and weaver against collision damage (in excess), airport surcharge and VAT. However, it is possible to reduce the amount of this excess insurance for an additional cost of 200 inr per day. Tempo Traveller Jaipur provides 24-hour roadside assistance and, if you provide your flight details at the time of booking, they will be waiting for you if your flight is delayed.
When you pick up your rental car at Jodhpur Airport, remember that you will need a valid credit card (debit cards are not really accepted to authorize the contract) and an additional form of identification, such as your passport. Check what fuel the vehicle consumes before leaving and check if the tank is properly filled if this is what is established in the contract.
