It's still good to scan the cancellation policy though as there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Shimoga?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Shimoga with Expedia?
It's easy to find an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your wheels, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the popular rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Shimoga car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimoga?
Shimoga requires drivers to be 18 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimoga?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimoga?
Motorists in Shimoga drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take a while familiarizing yourself with the differences before getting on the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Shimoga?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've taken the wheel of your own rental car for just a day. The second lowest daily price offered in Shimoga was . These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shimoga?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list fantastic options from numerous leading suppliers.
Where can I find a Shimoga car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Shimoga. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shimoga?
For a stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides customers with round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Shimoga vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Shimoga with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in India, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
