What Do You Need to Book Self Drive Car in Gachibowli?

To Book Self Drive Car in Gachibowli through the Long Drive Cars App, you need one identity document, a driving licence photo, a security deposit option and a confirmed slot in the app. These four items decide whether your pickup takes minutes or gets delayed. 

This guide lists each requirement so you can prepare before you open the booking screen.

Quick Answer: Your Booking Checklist

• Identity proof: Aadhaar photo or passport photo (any one)
• Driving licence: a clear photo of your driving licence
• Security deposit: any one option (refundable cash deposit, bike or laptop), or a zero deposit option where available
• Booking confirmation: trip dates, pickup time, selected car and the ₹200 token to hold the car

Which Documents Are Required?

The Long Drive Cars App asks for two sets of documents:

1. Identity proof (any one): Aadhaar photo or passport photo.
2. Driving licence photo.

You upload photos in the app, so you do not need to carry printed copies for the booking itself. Keep the original licence with you while driving. This is the complete list of documents required for self drive car rental with the Long Drive Cars App.

Returning customers have an easier process. From the second booking onwards, old customers need no documents. Your details are already saved, so you only choose the car and dates.

Driving Licence Requirements

Your licence photo must show your name, photograph and licence details clearly. A blurred or cropped photo is the most common reason for a verification delay. Upload a photo taken in good light, with all four corners visible.

The reference material does not state a minimum age or licence validity period. Confirm these eligibility conditions in the app before you pay, and do not assume them.

Security Deposit Options

The Long Drive Cars App lets you choose any one security deposit:

• Refundable ₹2,000 deposit for premium cars
• Refundable ₹5,000 deposit for luxury cars
• Bike or laptop as a deposit
• Zero deposit option, available on selected bookings

The deposit amount depends on the car category, so check the category of your chosen car first. A premium car needs the lower deposit and a luxury car needs the higher one.

Booking Details to Confirm in the App

Before you confirm, check these booking details on the car page:

• Trip dates and times: the app shows pickup and return time for the dates you select.
• Token amount: you pay ₹200 to hold your car.
• Exact car: the listing carries an "Exact Car Guaranteed" label, so you receive the car shown in the photos.
• Pickup mode: collect from a branch or choose delivery to your home or airport.
• Kilometre plan: the app lists unlimited kilometres.

The booking process takes about 30 seconds in the app once your documents are uploaded.

How Gachibowli Customers Can Check Requirements Before Confirming

Customers in Gachibowli do not need to guess what applies to their booking. Follow this order inside the app:

1. Open the Long Drive Cars App and set your pickup location.
2. Select your trip dates and pickup time.
3. Open the car you like and read its deposit category (premium or luxury).
4. Upload your identity proof and licence photo.
5. Review the deposit option and the ₹200 token on the payment screen.
6. Confirm only after every requirement shows as complete.

The app lists branches at Hitech City, Kukatpally and Dilsukhnagar, each with a 5-minute pickup. Hitech City is the closest listed branch for Gachibowli customers. If you prefer not to travel, choose delivery to your address on eligible branch cars. Customers who want to see a car first can use the free trial option at any listed branch.

For anyone comparing options for self drive car rental in Gachibowli, the safest habit is to read the requirement screens in the app before paying anything.

Vehicle Handover Checks

The handover decides who is responsible for existing marks, so complete these checks before you drive away:

• Compare with the original photos: the app shows original photos of the car. Match the number plate, colour and body condition against them.
• Look for existing scratches or dents: note any mark that is not in the photos and show it to the staff before you leave.
• Check cleanliness: branch cars are washed before handover, and the app promises neatly washed cars.
• Confirm your damage protection: if you added a Zero Headache Pass plan, note its coverage limit. Replacement of new parts is charged separately.
• Keep your documents handy: carry your original driving licence during the trip.

Handover takes only a few minutes at a branch, and a quick check is part of the process.
