Documents Required for Bike, Scooter and Car Rental in India

Published by Wheel on RentPublished 23 July 2026Content updated 8 October 2026

Wheel On Rent's published terms require users to be at least 18 and to submit copies of a driving licence and Aadhaar. International visitors are asked for a home-country licence, International Driving Permit and valid visa, with originals brought for verification. Confirm the selected listing's requirements before paying.

Rental duration, fuel and city limits

The published terms set a minimum booking tenure of one day (24 hours). Fuel costs are the renter's responsibility, and one helmet is provided with the vehicle under the stated policy.

Use may be restricted to the pickup city unless permission is granted. Ask about the exact vehicle and route before booking an outstation journey; some categories have stricter city-limit rules.

Deposit, cancellation and return

Review the listed deposit separately from the rental component. Confirm the pickup and return point, due time, vehicle condition and deposit-return conditions before handover.

The refund policy distinguishes partial-payment and full-payment cancellations. Check the deduction for your payment type and time remaining before pickup; early returns do not automatically create a refund. Use the linked policy for the current thresholds and processing timeline.

Licence and identity

The person collecting and operating the vehicle should match the verified booking details. Confirm whether the provider needs originals to be shown, uploaded copies or additional address verification.

Never share more personal information than the legitimate booking and verification process requires.

Digital transport documents

Government advisories recognise eligible transport documents presented through DigiLocker or mParivahan for enforcement purposes. That does not automatically replace a rental provider’s own identity-verification requirements.

Keep phone access and battery available if relying on digital records, and carry the booking confirmation.

Check the vehicle documents

Ask how registration, insurance and PUC information can be verified for the rental vehicle. Report any mismatch before driving away.

For travel beyond the pickup city or state, confirm route permission and any additional documentation in advance.
