Punjab car rentals

Car hire is the most convenient way to explore Punjab at your own pace. We recommend using your hire car to visit Sri Harmandir Sahib, Wagah and Jallianwala Bagh in the north of Punjab and then drive to Qila Mubarak and the M.C. Zoological Park in the east. Although you can take public buses around Punjab, these can be busy and inconvenient for visiting multiple attractions, the buses also don’t run on Sundays.

The speed limits in Punjab depend on which type of road you are driving on. On the expressway, or freeway, the maximum limit is 100kph (around 60mph), on national and state highways the speed limit varies from 50kph to 80kph, it’s always best to check signs. On other roads the limit is 60kph in rural areas and 40kph in urban areas. If you are driving within Lahore during your trip, it is important to know that the continuous yellow and white lines that have been drawn in the middle of some roads in the city mean that you cannot cross in your vehicle. It’s an offence to cross these in the road in order to overtake another vehicle or for any other reason.

Across all car hire companies in Punjab, India, you will need to be a minimum of 18 years old to hire a car, which you will need to prove with photo ID. It’s important to know that hiring a car at the age of 18 can mean higher hire prices, as well as limited company and vehicle choice. Some companies in Punjab do require you to be at least 21 years old to hire one of their cars, or even older for bigger and more powerful vehicles. You should always check individual rules as to age restrictions at your chosen company before you visit the branch.
