We recommend booking these kinds of extras in advance wherever possible, in order to guarantee availability, especially at smaller branches.
Although Punjab, India, borders Pakistan, travelling across the border into a different country to where you have hired your car is not generally permitted when hiring a car hire in Punjab. Having said that, with most companies you can return your car to a different location within India, which is great for exploring the country.

Before leaving your chosen car hire branch, it’s important to check with the agent what type of fuel your vehicle requires.

It’s also important to check with your hire agent whether you should fill up your car before bringing it back to the car park, as with some hire companies you can avoid additional charges by bringing your vehicle back with a full tank, or some ask you to bring it back with the same amount of petrol you were given.
