Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Thanjavur car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid rental with at least six hours notice should allow for a total refund. But this is not always guaranteed. It's worth checking your itinerary and rental agreement. Still can't find the answer? Click through to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Thanjavur?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many travellers to Thanjavur. Offering great mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to zipping around the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra style and comfort. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Thanjavur with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare prices, offers and rental companies, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Thanjavur car rental with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Thanjavur?
Thanjavur requires drivers to be at least 18 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Thanjavur?
Before you can take the wheel in Thanjavur, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Thanjavur?
Unlike the States, people in Thanjavur drive on the left. Having the driver's seat 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 embarking on your journey.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Thanjavur?
Expedia makes it a cinch to find a reliable long-term rental in Thanjavur. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and browse your options.
Where can I find a Thanjavur car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Thanjavur, you'll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
