DRIVEIT CARS ("DriveIt") provides an online and offline marketplace platform enabling registered vehicle owners ("Hosts") and verified customers ("Renters") to lease motor vehicles directly in accordance with statutory guidelines under the Indian Motor Vehicles Act.

By booking, receiving the keys, or taking possession of any vehicle facilitated through DriveIt, you acknowledge that you have carefully read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Clause 04

4. Kilometers, Fuel & Operating Radius

  • Daily KM Allowance: Standard daily rentals include a 300 Km/day allowance. Once a package (e.g. 300km/day or unlimited) is booked, it cannot be altered mid-trip.
  • Extra Kilometers Rate: Excess kilometers are billed at ₹9/km for Hatchbacks, ₹10/km for Sedans, ₹14/km for 7-Seater SUVs, and ₹18+/km for Luxury vehicles.
  • Hyderabad Local Radius (Outer Ring Road): Local packages are valid strictly within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) boundary. Crossing the ORR requires prior host authorization; unauthorized crossing will result in outstation kilometer rate adjustments.
  • Same-Level Fuel Policy: The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as recorded during handover. Any deficit will be charged as per prevailing market fuel rates + a ₹200 refueling service charge.
  • Garage-to-Garage Calculation: Kilometers and hours are measured from the starting dispatch hub to the return hub. Doorstep delivery carries a standard ₹500–₹1,000 transit charge based on distance.
Clause 05

5. Speed Limits & Safe Driving Regulations

Maximum Statutory Speed Limit: 80 Km/Hour

In compliance with RTA safety guidelines and telemetry regulations, all vehicles are speed-governed at 80 km/h. Exceeding 80 km/h is recorded automatically via GPS, voids insurance coverage during that window, and attracts a safety violation fine of ₹500 per incident.

🚫 Drunk Driving & Narcotics

Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating substances is strictly prohibited. Violators face a ₹5,000 penalty and direct police handover.

🚭 No Smoking / Gutka

Smoking cigarettes or consuming chewing tobacco/gutka inside the cabin carries a mandatory ₹5,000 deep-cleaning and ozone sanitization fee.

🚦 Traffic Challans

All electronic challans (red-light jumping, wrong parking, no-helmet pillion, signal violation) incurred during your rental must be cleared by you.

⚖️ Commercial Sub-leasing

Sub-letting, pledging, racing, vehicle towing, or transporting hazardous contraband is an unlawful offense subject to immediate asset recovery.

Clause 06

6. Trip Extensions & Late Return Charges

Vehicles are scheduled for back-to-back sanitization and handovers for other travelers. Timely returns are strictly enforced:

  • Notice Window: If you wish to extend your booking, you must inform DriveIt at least 4 hours prior to scheduled return time.
  • Hourly Grace Period: Extra hours are billed at ₹300/hr (5-seaters) and ₹400/hr (7-seaters/SUVs) up to a maximum of 4 hours.
  • Exceeding 4 Hours: Any delay beyond 4 hours automatically incurs a full 24-hour daily rental charge + 10% late inconvenience surcharge.
  • Automated Engine Immobilization: If a vehicle is not returned and no extension has been paid, the remote telemetry unit may automatically immobilize the vehicle engine upon scheduled expiry.
Clause 07

7. Accidents, Breakdowns & Insurance Protocol

In the unfortunate event of an accident or collision, the following procedures must be adhered to:

Major Damage Claims (Above ₹1,00,000)

Comprehensive commercial motor insurance is claimable only for accidental damages exceeding ₹1,00,000. The renter must assist in obtaining the spot Panchnama, FIR from the local police station, and RTA surveyor estimation. The non-claimable balance and depreciation must be borne by the renter.

Minor Scratches, Dents & Repairs

Damages below ₹1,00,000 (such as bumper dents, broken mirrors, panel repainting, or wrong fuelling) must be repaired at the manufacturer's authorized showroom at the renter's expense. Renters are also responsible for the standard daily idle rent while the car is undergoing repair at the service center.

Clause 08

8. Cancellation & Refund Policy

50% Refund
Notice > 12 Hours Before Pickup

Cancellations made more than 12 hours prior to the scheduled delivery time are eligible for a 50% refund of the advance rental payment.

No Refund (0%)
Notice < 12 Hours or No-Show

Cancellations made within 12 hours of the scheduled pickup slot or customer no-shows are strictly non-refundable as the vehicle is already reserved and prepared.

Clause 09

9. Pre-Trip Inspection & Cleanliness

Every car is delivered fully washed, deep-cleaned, and sanitized. We require all customers to record a continuous 360-degree video inspection of the vehicle (capturing exterior body panels, tires, glass, and odometer reading) prior to taking the keys.

Vehicles must be returned in reasonably clean condition. If the vehicle is returned with heavy exterior mud, food spillage, seat stains, or unpleasant odors, a standard detailing fee of ₹500 (5-seaters) or ₹800 (7-seaters/Buses) will be deducted from the security deposit.

Clause 10

10. Customer Agreement & Jurisdiction

By accepting delivery of the vehicle, the Renter certifies that:

  • They hold a valid driving license and are physically fit to operate the vehicle.
  • They accept full civil and criminal liability for their actions during the rental period.
  • They will cooperate fully with the host and company in the event of any road incident.
  • Any disputes arising from this agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the civil courts in Hyderabad, Telangana.
