Top tips for hiring a car in Maharashtra

  • You must have a valid driving licence to hire and operate a hire car in Maharashtra. Foreigners can only hire vehicles in Maharashtra with an international driver’s permit and a valid driver’s license from their home country. The international driver's permit, valid for only one year, can be acquired in Maharashtra, but it is wiser to get one before your visit.
  • Ensure that you observe traffic regulations in India, as law enforcers may strictly implement these laws on car hirers more than natives. For instance, the allowed blood alcohol content in India is 0.03%, and exceeding it while driving a vehicle might attract fines accordingly. Also, the authorised speed limit in Maharashtra is 70 km/h. It also applies to other urban centres in India. You should drive at a maximum speed of 80 km/h in the suburbs and at most 120 km/h while on the motorways. If when driving you come across workmen engaged in road repairs or a body of troops, you are required to drive at a speed limit of 25 km/h.
  • In Maharashtra, the driver and the passenger in the front seat must always be buckled up while the vehicle is in motion. The law also requires passengers in the rear seat to wear seat belts. Apart from drivers of passenger service vehicles and taxis, all other drivers with children as passengers should ensure that their vehicles are installed with a child restraint system. Also, babies and children up to 12 years old should be seated in appropriate seats.
