How to get a State Visitor Permit for a rented self-drive car in India?
I am planning to travel from Bangalore, Karnataka to Hogenakkal, Tamil Nadu. I am going to book a self-drive car with Karnataka Registration.
A permit is necessary to enter the Tamil Nadu State. Where should I obtain the permit while travelling?
I have heard that the permit can be obtained from RTO Check post at the state border. I need information related to ithis (location, fee, validity, etc).
Best Answer
I have driven several times from Bangalore to Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Pondicherry. I never needed a permit to enter any of these states. My Uttar Pradesh license and Karnataka registration worked even when it was checked at border check posts.
Having said that, I guess the rules are different if you book a self-drive rental vehicle. In which case, it should be the responsibility of the company renting out the car to you to provide the necessary permits, although I believe most of those cars will have national permits anyway. I know ost taxis do.
