Car rental location Indira Gandhi International Airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport Guide

Car Hire

The primary air transportation hub of the Delhi National Capital region, Indira Gandhi International Airport is located 10 miles to the southwest of the city’s central district. It’s now South Asia’s most important and busiest airport, with its present capacity of up to 45 million annual passengers totalling over 25 per cent of the region’s air traffic. The complex has its own rail station, set in Terminal 3 and offering 20-minute trips to Delhi’s main station. Public transportation is augmented by buses and taxis, as well as comfortable, economic self-drive via car hire in Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport along the eight-lane Delhi Expressway direct to downtown.

Who to Book With
Carzonrent is the authorised provider of car rental and limo services at the airport. Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar and several other rated car hire firms have depots on the complex, with a selection of vehicles able to be rented in advance online, ensuring a quick getaway.

Need to Know Essentials
You will need to show the following documents at vehicle collection:

Driving
Although driving in India, especially in its crowded cities, is an adventure rather than an experience, confident drivers should find it doable. Negotiating the city’s streets is confusing and takes time, and can be a noisy, stressful experience, with lane discipline lacking and constantly-honking horns. Cows, motorised rickshaws and pedalled rickshaws are the highlights, and parking takes place anywhere it can. Roads everywhere can be good, bad or indifferent, with potholes standard except on the urban fast highways and toll roads. Petrol stations are common in the cities, but far less so in rural areas, and card payments may not be taken, with cash the best way to pay.

See our guide to India for more information on driving here.

Transport

Arriving passengers can choose between self-drive, car hire with a driver, limo hire, taxi, local bus or the recently-installed Metro train service to the city’s main railway station. Trains are the fastest mode of transport as they avoid Delhi’s crammed streets, buses are the cheapest mode but are not recommended for solo female travellers and taxis are relatively safe, but car rental is the best option if you’re planning to travel around the region.

Trains
The newish Delhi Metro, India’s first modern rapid-transport rail system, is now extended to the airport, giving a convenient, 20-minute service for those heading to the city centre. Single fares on the Airport Express Line are less than £0.30.

Taxis
Taxis at the airport are recognised by their yellow-and-black livery. They can be found outside the Arrivals areas of the terminals and, although they are metered, it’s best to agree on a price for your journey before it begins. Air-conditioned cabs are rare and attract a surcharge on the average price of around £0.20 per mile. Radio taxis can be hired at the stand outside Terminal 3’s Arrivals exit, cost at least twice the regular rate, but their vehicles are newer, more reliable and air-conditioned. The journey takes up to an hour, dependent on traffic. Taxi trips here are cheap by Western standards.

Taxi prices:
Indira Gandhi Airport to Delhi city centre is about £3
Indira Gandhi Airport to Agra is about £35
Indira Gandhi Airport to Vrindavan is about £15

Buses
Buses linking the airport with Delhi are provided by the Delhi Transport Corporation and run regularly from 05:00 to 04:50, stopping at numerous places along the way. The bus stop is outside Terminal 2. Bus number 392B takes up to 1 hour, 30 minutes to reach the city centre, dependent on traffic and time of day and costs less than £0.50. The buses can get very crowded, making them best avoided by lone female travellers. Bus is by far the cheapest form of public transport here.

Facilities

Terminals
Terminal 1 and 3 are in use, with Terminal 1 dealing solely with domestic flights and Terminal 2 covering international flights as well as more domestic routes. Air India is the major carrier, offering countless domestic flights in addition to routes to London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Toronto and Frankfurt. British Airways flies to London-Heathrow, as does Jet Airways, while KLM flies to Amsterdam and Lufthansa offers a route to Frankfurt. Annual passenger throughput is nudging 36 million.

Travelators move passengers seamlessly to and from the terminal. Premium ‘Park ‘n Fly’ daily or long-stay bays cost around £10 and are available at both terminals’ car parks, with hourly parking costing around £1.

The airport offers a choice of fine dining, quick service eateries, coffee and liquor bars, and sweet and ice cream outlets. In Terminal 3’s airside lounge is the Smoke House, serving international dishes, and South Indian cuisine is found in both terminals’ Arrivals areas at Vaango.

Terminal 1 has its own shopping attractions, including Metro Shoes, Swarovski and Ethos, and not forgetting Parcos with its perfumes and cosmetics.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
