KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kochi
- Consider using car rentals in Kochi for a chance to enjoy enhanced flexibility and convenience, connecting to various parts of the city. For instance, with a rental car, you can easily visit the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where you can enjoy watching a variety of games. It is cheaper to rent a car than use taxis, especially if you have a plan to connect to several places within the city as well as other cities near Kochi.
- Cochin International Airport (COK) is one of the best pickup locations for Kochi car rentals. There are several car rental agencies having their desks inside the airport. In particular, the car rental desks are located at the Arrivals Lobby, on the ground floor. Upon landing, you can use the “Rent-A-Car” signs to get to these car rental desks. A key benefit of getting your car from this location is that you enjoy the privilege of getting a specific car type and/or model, something that is not available at several locations offering car rentals in Kochi.
- There are a few things you must always remember any time you are driving in Kochi. For instance, the driving style in Kochi is described as chaotic and fast-paced. Traffic rules and lanes are often disregarded, resulting in a mix of vehicles maneuvering through narrow streets, honking frequently, and relying on quick reflexes. Patience and alertness are crucial for navigating the bustling roads of Kochi. However, to remain safe, it will be essential for you to follow all traffic laws but remain watchful of the actions of the other motorists.
- In your use of car rentals in Kochi, you will experience considerably difficulties during the morning and evening rush hours. In the morning, most roads in the city have traffic heaviest between 8:30 am to 10:30 am. A similar situation happens from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. During these times, major roads like MG Road, NH 47 experience heavy traffic congestion, with delays and slower movement being common. Therefore, if you must use any of these roads during these times, ensure you start off your journey slightly earlier than the supposed time.
- Book your rental car in Kochi at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Full-size rental cars in Kochi are around 15% more expensive than other car types, on average

Cons:
I was supposed to get my car at the kochi airport. After getting out of the airport, I looked around for someone from Avis, but found no one. Waited for 45 mins and kept looking around, but no one arrived. Meanwhile asked around at the airport if there was any Avis counter, but there was none. Finally called the number provided by kayak, and the guy who picked up said it was the wrong number and put down the phone. I tried the number again, same guy picked up, this time I was more adamant and asked him if he was from a car rental agency, he said yes. I asked if it was Avis, he said no, but they had a tie up with Avis. I told him I was supposed to receive a car at the airport, he said he knew nothing of that, and besides he didn’t have any cars to give anyways. With that he disconnected the phone. Thank you Kayak for a fantastic start to vacation. Never again will I use your website.Car Club
