When considering a cheap car rental in Kolkata, it is advisable to take into account the type of driving you will be doing. For city driving, it is a good idea to look at a compact economy car that is easy to navigate in the traffic and narrow streets of the city; it will also be easier to manoeuvre into parking spaces. If you intend to travel outside the city and visit some of the surrounding attractions, you could consider a standard SUV for additional comfort, while a passenger van is ideal for accommodating a larger touring party.

When driving on the network of local urban roads in the Kolkata city centre, the speed limit is 40 km/h for a light motor vehicle (like a car rental) or a motorcycle. If you are using the expressways, the speed limit increases to 60 km/h for these classes of vehicles. There are speed cameras in operation along certain stretches of very busy and congested roads in Kolkata, and these can be identified by screens that show the speed at which you are travelling, with a “danger” warning if you are well over the speed limit. When you are collecting your cheap car rental in Kolkata, it is advisable to ask the customer service agent for some tips.

For peace of mind and security, it is recommended you use one of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation car parks located throughout the city. While you will see cars parked haphazardly on the footpath, this is actually not permitted, so it is advisable to steer clear of leaving your car in unmarked parking.
