Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ottapalam car reservation?
Subject to your rental policy, you could be eligible for your money back. Many prepaid rentals give a complete refund if you cancel six hours in advance of collection. Still have some questions? If you can't find the answer in your booking details, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Ottapalam?
Inexpensive, a breeze to handle and with excellent mileage, it's no coincidence that compact vehicles are the most commonly booked type of rental in Ottapalam. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Ottapalam?
Ottapalam offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to see what's in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Mysore is roughly 177 kilometres from Ottapalam. Notable sights like Mysore Palace deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Around 88 kilometres away, Kochi is also a hit with travellers. Set aside time to take in Cherai Beach while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this colourful city.
  • Get into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Varkala Beach. It's about 225 kilometres from Ottapalam.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Ottapalam with Expedia?
Nabbing the best deal on your Ottapalam rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare the offers from leading brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score even more savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ottapalam?
You'll need to be 18 and over to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Ottapalam. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Read the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Ottapalam?
While requirements may differ between car rental outlets in Ottapalam, generally the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ottapalam?
Unlike the U.S, people in Ottapalam drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ottapalam?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and lock in a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find an Ottapalam car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Ottapalam rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional costs. It's handy to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
