There are many reasons why you need a car rental in a foreign country. First, you can maneuver through the city traffic easily and you get to enjoy longer hours in attractions than you would on a bus. Additionally, you can easily access a car rental at Chennai airport by booking online and having the car parked at the airstrip when you arrive.

Chennai car hire services are quite affordable and one can get a good discount if you will be hiring the vehicle for a long time period.

Things to do

Chennai is located on the coastline of Coromandel Coast close to Bengal Bay. This gives it a great holiday climate each tourist season. The town may be highly commercial and industrial, but there are definitely some hotspots within the city to make your holiday travel memorable.

Marina Beach - why not start off your holiday with a day at the Marina Beach? The beach is located within the Bay of Bengal and overlooks the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. As you enjoy the beautiful coastline atmosphere you will spot the Fort of St George just a few steps away.
Fort St George - this is the first ever fortress to be built by English men on Indian soil. The Fort dates back to the 16 century and reeks with classic British architecture all over it. It was later organized into a museum and opened to the public for historical education,
Vivekanandar Illam - this is a landmark that has so many names. Perhaps it’s because of the great importance it bears to the Ramakrishna foundation located in South India. You can leave your car rental at the Marina Beach parking lot, then spend the afternoon learning about the history of Swami Vivekananda who used to live in this castle.
Covelong - this is a small village located 40 kilometers away from Chennai. It is home to thousands of local fishermen who cast their net into the sea to make a living. You can stop by this village and learn more about the fishermen’s way of life before proceeding on.
Kishkinta - this is a theme park located close to the Railway Station of Vandalur. It’s a nice place to spend an afternoon with your kids enjoying the serene atmosphere of the park.

Though Chennai is a highly industrialized and commercialized town, it houses so many attractions you cannot exhaust in a day.
