As a rule of thumb, keep your Powai car hire choice as small a vehicle as you feel comfortable in, and avoid getting anything too large. You'll fare a lot better in the traffic with a compact city car or a hatchback if you're alone or with someone else. Otherwise, book a small saloon if there are a couple more of you. That's if you're going to spend most of your time enjoying the city's many tourist attractions. If you mainly intend to take road trips from Powai to go sightseeing in this west coast region of India, then something like an SUV or MPV becomes more viable.

Speed limits in Powai can literally vary from one road to the next, so always look out for the signs, and follow the lower speed limit when in doubt. In general, you can drive at up to 70 km/h on urban roads, up to 100 km/h on highways, and between 120 km/h and 140 km/h on interstate roads. However, some roads in central Powai have a 65 km/h limit and others a 35-45 km/h limit, such as sections of the city's Bandra-Worli Sea Link. On the Eastern Freeway you can drive at 80 km/h, on the Eastern and Western Express Highway at 70 km/h, and at 65 km/h on Marine Drive.

In this bustling city neighbourhood, parking on the street can admittedly be a bit of a challenge. Your best bet is to head to one of the large multi-storey car parks like Metro Parking on Central Avenue. This will cost you around ₹30.00 for 3 hours, with an extra hour costing about ₹10.00. The car park at Powai Plaza charges roughly the same rates. You can also park at Haiko Place on Main Street. This is a bit more expensive, at about ₹40.00 for 2 hours.
