Understanding documentation requirements ensures smooth booking and avoids last-minute hassles. Here's what you need based on actual rental experiences.
For Individual Bookings:
- Valid Government ID: Aadhar Card, Driving License, Passport, or Voter ID
- Contact Details: Working mobile number and email address
- Address Proof: Required by most companies for verification
- Advance Payment Receipt: UPI/bank transfer confirmation
For Corporate Bookings:
- Company authorization letter on letterhead
- GST number for invoice
- Contact person's ID proof
- Purchase order (if applicable)
Driver Documentation (Provided by Rental Company): When you book tempo traveller rental in Delhi, the company should provide:
- Driver's valid commercial license
- Vehicle registration certificate (RC)
- Insurance papers (comprehensive coverage)
- Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate
- Permit for interstate travel (if going outside Delhi)
- Emergency contact numbers
Booking Process Documentation:
- Written Agreement: Always insist on a written contract mentioning pickup time, destination, pricing, fuel policy, and cancellation terms
- Payment Receipt: Keep digital and physical copies
- Vehicle Details: Note down vehicle number, driver name, and contact
Real Experience Tip: During my Rajasthan trip booking, I created a simple checklist and verified all documents before the vehicle arrived. This saved us from a situation where the original driver called in sick, and the replacement didn't have proper interstate permits—we caught this early and got it resolved.
Security Deposit: Some companies ask for ₹2,000-5,000 refundable security deposit. Ensure you get a receipt and clarity on the refund process.
Red Flags to Avoid:
- Companies not asking for any ID proof
- No written agreement
- Driver without commercial license
- Vehicle without proper insurance
