Self-drive car rental in Bangalore is quick once you know what to bring. Most first-time bookings get delayed at handover simply because a document is missing — here's exactly what you need so your pickup at Arekere goes smoothly.
At Mr. Cooper Car Rental, every self-drive booking needs a valid Indian driving licence, an Aadhaar card, and a Bengaluru local ID proof — all originals, not photocopies or phone photos. These are checked at handover along with the vehicle before you drive off.
Bring your documents, collect the car from Arekere after a quick check, and you're on the road — that's the whole process.
Along with your documents, you'll also need either a two-wheeler parked at our location as collateral, or a small refundable security deposit paid at handover. The exact deposit depends on the car — it ranges from ₹3,000 for a hatchback like the Swift up to ₹10,000 for the Mahindra Thar.
What to Bring for Handover
Keep these ready before you arrive at Arekere so the handover takes minutes, not hours:
- Valid Indian driving licence (original)
- Aadhaar card (original)
- Bengaluru local address proof (original)
- A two-wheeler as collateral, or the refundable security deposit for your chosen car
Every vehicle is checked before it's handed over so it's clean and fully functional. Fuel is not included in the rental — you refuel before returning the car. If anything about the process is unclear, call us on +91 63693 62832 and our team will walk you through it before you book.
