Answer to this topic - 4 Reasons Why Self-Drive Rental Cars Are Better

India with its pervading taxi and cab culture still needs some time to adjust to the idea of self-drive rental cars. But once you have discovered the joys of self-drive rentals, you will never go back to sitting in the passenger seat of a taxi or cab.

There are a host of reasons that prove self-drive rentals are way better than cabs, with some of the main ones being:

1. Privacy: Weekends and late evenings are the only times that we get to spend with family and friends. Imagine the irritation of having an unknown driver snoop over all your conversations, smirk at your dilemmas, and laugh at your jokes. This gets even worse when you rent a cab for a tour outside the city spanning a couple of days. And if you are travelling as a couple, you can see the romance go out the taxi cab window as you wave it goodbye and say hello to Mr. Driver.

2. Safety: Another driver problem in India is that of safety. Drivers are one of the least paid and most overworked people in India. So you can be sure that most of the times, your driver is exhausted, tired and not totally on top of his senses. Apart from that, it is almost a routine for us to tell a taxi driver “not to drive rash”, which just goes to prove how much safer you can be when you are in control of your own self-drive rental.

3. Freedom: Going for a self-drive rental car takes out the fuss and irritation of a trip by giving you the freedom to be your own boss. You can get out of the house later than you planned, leave a place early, and stop as and when you please when you are driving your own rental car. There is absolutely no hurry because you do not have to deal with a running meter and a driver who needs to be somewhere else the moment he is “free of you”.

4. Cost Benefits: Apart from all the conveniences of self-drive rental cars, another major plus point in favour of the self-driven rental vs a cab is the cost. Contrary to the popular belief that rental cars are costly, Zoomcar in India provides self-drive cars at less than half of what a taxi or cab company will charge you. For e.g., a self-drive car for 240 km or a whole day is available for just about Rs. 2300, while even the cheapest cab will charge Rs. 3000 for the same distance and time.

So it is time to ditch the cab and go for a self-drive rental.

6 Reasons why Taxi/Cabs better than self drive cars

In our past tourist and travels working 8 years experience we have seen both self drive and Taxi cab
1. Route Known: Most of the places are known to the driver and he will take you places - Just tell him the place he will take you there Eg: you have been to coorg with self drive cars - Individually you may cover 4 places a day making trip to 5 days for completion
Whereas Cab driver taxi He will cover 12 places in a day. You have to do only sightseeing. Driving pain and hardwork is to chauffer
2. Safety : If u self drive. 80% chances you may crash the car lack of experirence. Ghat section drive and city drive varies a lot. Any thing might happen for scenario.
3. Freedom : Driver will take care of the car. you need not worry about parking scratches, cleaning the car in taxi or cab
4. Cost benefit : In this competation world, use an agent like Vayuputhra cabs which gives for best price compared to all
5. No deposit in Cab - Self drive is prepaid.whereas in Taxi you can pay the bill at the End.
6. Even 2am if your pickup is given. You are picked safely in cab.

Again the best time is to go for Cab or Taxi services

hiring a Cab makes sense I feel

As the average Indian becomes more aware, demand for better services at best prices is increasing. Even as people buy more cars, the trend of renting self-drive cars is rising. This service—which gives one the choice to rent a car across models and types, and use it according to her own convenience and budget—is especially popular among young professionals and entrepreneurs in cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi and Pune.

The concept of self-drive cars has been popular in the US and European countries since long but made a debut in India around 2013. This is usually used by those who want to go on short trips in a group or alone, or to use within a city for business or personal purposes. The attraction lies in being able to drive high-end cars at an affordable price, and avoiding the hassles of dealing with a driver and pay for extra charges.

While a big attraction of hiring a self-drive car is being able to drive higher-end models, cost and convenience are also pull factors. Here's a look at what such companies have to offer.

Affordable price tags

Why hire a car and drive it yourself if you can simply hire a chauffeur driven car? Because not only does it give you flexibility but also a cost advantage.

Taxi services provided by participants such as allow you to choose a category of cars in a particular price band and not a specific model. Charges are as per the kilometres. For example, if you choose Mini service that offers small hatchbacks, such as a Tata Indica, to travel 20 km in Delhi, it will cost around Rs.260 (not including taxes, peak hour charges, convenience fee and toll)

Also, longer the lease duration, lower the cost. For instance, for a Maruti Swift DZire VDi (diesel) from self drive, it will cost Rs.125 an hour. But if you take it for a day (unlimited kilometres), it costs Rs.1,500.

Many of us rent taxis from local taxi stands, usually at a fixed price. The cost is more if you hire for only one-way ride, and the service is usually for four or eight hours.

"You can't ask a driver to drive you around for an entire day. For longer trips, even if the cab company says you don't have to pay for the driver's expenses like food, you invariably do pay for it. Also, there is more privacy when you drive on your own and a sense of security

Self-drive versus own car

Owning a car gives the advantage of flexibility as you can use it any time of the day for however long you want to. No need to register, book and then wait for a vehicle. A personal car can be used to run errands like going to the local market or for road trips. But buying a car means making a down-payment and then equated monthly instalments (EMIs). "It's a depreciating asset. Even if you drive a car you buy for only 150 days in a year, you still pay for 365 days. When you hire a car, you can use it for 25 days a month or just 2-3 hours a day, and pay for that much only

"Young professionals who come to a different city for 2-3 weeks use this service. This practice is popular in Bengaluru, where people take the car from the airport, use it for the time they are in the city and drop it back at the airport,With consumers becoming more aware, this service is going to grow as a segment as it not only gives flexibility to drive according to your convenience but also the feel of luxury as you can drive the most expensive car as your own,"

Ghosh, who owns and drives a Chevrolet Beat, plans to rent a BMW for the experience. Singh, who often rents luxury cars to travel within a city and outside, said he hires self-drive cars so that he can drive whichever car he likes, and use it according to utility. "I own a Hyundai Sonata. Once my family visited me and there were six of us, so we couldn't fit in my car. I rented a self-drive (Toyota) Innova for 24 hours for Rs.3,000-4,000 and that solved my problem," said Singh.

Hiring a self-drive car

To hire a self-drive car, choose a service provider, go to its website or mobile app, register, upload copies of an identity proof and a valid driving licence. Some companies need credit card details, while others charge a refundable deposit, usually Rs.5,000-10,000, but is higher for luxury and premium cars. Letmedrive, for example, charges a deposit of Rs.10,000. All vehicles are insured. In case of damages, the company may forfeit the deposit. Many also offer 24X7 roadside assistance at many locations. The car is delivered to the user along with the insurance, registration and pollution check documents.

Book as early as possible so that availability is not a problem.

For every hire, the user has to enter an agreement with the car company. This gives details of the vehicle, the user, number of days or hours of lease, and other terms and conditions.

Fuel details are also included; usually, the car is given with a full tank, and the user has to return the vehicle the same way. But this can vary and you can negotiate with the car lease company. Also, you have to drop the car back at the pick-up point. Check with the company for the most convenient pick-up and drop points. Cancellation charges apply based on how soon or late you inform them. If you want the car to be delivered to your house or any location other than the designated drop points, there may be an extra charge. Payments have to be made online and before hiring the car. Deposit is refunded to your account after deducting for damages or maintenance, if any, within 2-3 days. If you exceed the agreed time to return the car to the delivery point, there is a late fee.

As the concept is still new in India, the awareness among legal authorities is still low. "Once in Pune, a traffic policeman caught me for driving a 'commercial vehicle' without the proper driving licence. I had to explain that this was a self-drive car," said customer. Apart from that, the GPS may not work in smaller locations, and in some places local taxi unions may not allow self-drive cars to play at all.

If you are comfortable driving yourself and want a taste of luxury at a pocket-friendly price, self-drive car rentals are the answer. But if you do not want to drive yourself or are new to a place, a chauffeur driven cab service may work better.
