Also known as Hazrat Sahjalal International Airport, Dhaka International Airport stands at being the largest in Bangladesh. Of course, with this status comes the fact the airport tend to be very busy especially at specific times of the year. But this is not its only attribute; Dhaka International Airport is also home to several car hire agencies meaning arrivers can easily get a means of transportation to their various accommodation destinations.
Why rent a car?
But why would you prefer to use car rental services rather than utilizing the public transport of the area or even taxis readily available at Dhaka International Airport? Well, as far as taxi services go, many operators will intentionally take advantage of visitors by over charging them. As for public transport on the other hand, they do not quite offer the convenience that comes with car hire.
From the airport, you can access a car rental agency at the arrivals terminus and with your own means of getting around, there is a lot more you can see and do while in the area. The rental car agencies located at the airport are mainly the major players in the rent-a-car service industry and these may each have their own individual operational policies as well as different costs of renting the vehicles.
Ways in which one rental agency’s policy could vary from that of another agency include:
- Different age limits – some agencies restrict the rental age to between 25 and 70.
- Restrictions to the type of car that may be rented – some agencies at Dhaka International Airport will restrict the type of vehicle that may be rented by those below 30 years of age as well as for the aged fellows above 65 years of age.
- Insurance – for some car rentals you may have to compulsorily pay for CDW and other such insurance.
- Border restrictions – in some of the major agencies, it is possible for them to allow you use the car hire vehicle travelling to another country or state. Some have tighter restrictions on the borders you may or may not cross.
Local attractions
By obtaining a rental car from Dhaka International Airport, you would be better positioned to see more of the country; including the places off the beaten path. If you are in the mood for a relatively long drive, how about heading to Savar National Memorial? The National Zoo could also prove to be a worthwhile visit for both visitors and local residents alike.
