Never rented a self drive car before? The process is simpler than you think. Here is a step-by-step guide to how self drive car rental works in Bhubaneswar, from booking to return.
Step 1: Choose Your Car and Dates
Browse the Rideez fleet and pick a car that fits your trip. Hatchbacks from ₹1,599/day for city use, SUVs from ₹2,399/day for highways and rough roads, 7-seaters from ₹2,499/day for families. Decide your pickup date, time, and return date.
Step 2: Book via WhatsApp or Phone
Call +91-7008330082 or send a WhatsApp message with your preferred car, pickup date, and return date. The Rideez team confirms availability within 30 minutes. No app download needed, no registration form, no membership fee.
Step 3: Share Your Documents
Send photos of your driving licence and Aadhaar card via WhatsApp. International visitors send passport and International Driving Permit. Documents are pre-verified before your pickup date so there are no surprises. Full details in our documents guide.
Step 4: Car Delivered to Your Door
On your pickup day, a Rideez staff member delivers the car to your location — home in Patia, BBI Airport terminal, railway station parking, hotel, or office. Free within Bhubaneswar city limits.
Step 5: Quick Verification and Handover
Staff verifies your original documents (returned immediately), collects the refundable security deposit, and walks you through the car — fuel level, any existing marks, spare tyre location, emergency contacts. Total time: 5 minutes. Then you drive.
Step 6: Drive Freely
The car is yours for the rental period. Drive within Bhubaneswar, to Puri, Konark, or anywhere in India — every car has an all-India permit. If anything goes wrong, call the 24/7 helpline for roadside assistance.
Step 7: Return the Car
At the end of your rental, return the car at the Patia hub, Nayapalli office, BBI Airport, or schedule a doorstep pickup from any Bhubaneswar location. Staff inspects the car (5 minutes), and your security deposit refund is processed within 48-72 hours.

How far in advance should I book?
For weekdays, 1-2 days advance booking is usually sufficient. For weekends and holidays, book 3-5 days ahead. For festivals like Rath Yatra, book 2-3 weeks in advance.
Can I extend my rental while on the trip?
Yes. Call or WhatsApp before your scheduled return time. Extensions are at the same daily rate, subject to vehicle availability. If your car is needed for another booking, we offer an equivalent or upgraded alternative.
