Chennai, India: minivan rental hints
Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Chennai are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mitsubishi L300 12 Seater, Opel Zafira, VW Touran, Chevrolet Uplander, Hyundai Trajet 7 seater and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in India is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in India a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Chennai.

Before leaving the parking garage in Chennai, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a great driving experience on the roads of India!

Driving Advices for India – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
According to an unwritten rule, the priority of vehicles on the road is determined, first of all, by their power and size. Tractors are not rare guests on the road, and they almost never give way to cars. Drivers of motorcycles and scooters will certainly feel the burden of this rule – almost no one pays attention to them on the road.
Trucks are another source of serious danger on the road. Their owners also feel very confident on the road, and they can give way to vehicles of the same size only. Drivers of trucks usually pay no attention to car drivers.
The majority of cars in the country are very old and worn-out. Many local people use their cars for decades. For the majority of locals the car remains the main, if not the only means of transport available. It is also quite rare to see a person travelling alone. As a rule, the number of passengers in the car greatly exceeds the permitted limit.

Travelling in minivan through Chennai
Pickpocketing in crowded areas is common in Chennai, so you should be extremely cautious. Don’t take valuables, documents and large sums of cash with you; keep cameras away from prying eyes.

When ordering any services, foreign visitors are advised to negotiate the price; otherwise it can be several times higher than expected. Tipping for good service is common; usually 10% of the total is quite enough.

Seasoned travelers recommend exploring local attractions by your own, without going to numerous tourist bureau. In this case, sums spent on excursions will be several times lower than while using services of professional guides.

Those resting in a large company are advised to use private drivers. Taxis could be hired for a day; the driver will gladly take clients not only to any city attraction, but also to suburban areas. The main thing is to discuss the cost of services in advance.

Local food and especially water has to be taken with caution. Use only purified bottled water, which is sold in all grocery stores. Drinking tap water can significantly affect the process of acclimatization.
