Self Drive Car Rental in Connaught Place
Connaught Place is the commercial heart of New Delhi, so a car collected here is equally close to the old city, the southern suburbs and the highways out of town. Hotel guests in central Delhi, office workers planning a weekend escape and visitors keen to see the monuments at their own pace all find it a convenient starting point.

Driving in Connaught Place
CP is laid out as three concentric rings, the Inner, Middle and Outer Circles, with radial roads such as Janpath, Barakhamba Road, Kasturba Gandhi Marg and Minto Road spreading outwards. Many stretches are one-way, so watch the signs. Rajiv Chowk is the interchange for the Blue and Yellow Lines, Barakhamba Road and Patel Chowk are nearby stops, and Shivaji Stadium on the Airport Express Line is a short walk away. Palika underground parking near Palika Bazaar is a convenient paid lot. Heading out, roads towards Dhaula Kuan reach NH48, while Mathura Road via Pragati Maidan heads south-east to Faridabad.
How handover works
Your car can be delivered to a hotel entrance, an office building or a CP parking lot. Since stopping on the circles is restricted, the handover is usually done inside a parking area, with any parking fee mentioned in advance.

Self drive car in Connaught Place: FAQs
Is it easy to park a car in Connaught Place?
Paid parking is available in the circle lots and at Palika underground parking, but spaces fill up on weekend evenings. Arriving before noon or heading straight for the underground lot usually saves time.
Which way should I leave CP for a trip to Jaipur?
Head towards Dhaula Kuan and join NH48 towards Gurugram. Jaipur is roughly 270 to 280 km away, and leaving before 7 am helps you clear the Gurugram stretch before office traffic builds.
Can I use the car for a city tour of monuments?
Yes. India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, Lodhi Garden and Qutub Minar are all within easy reach of CP, and most monuments have paid parking nearby. Early mornings are the quietest time for both traffic and parking, and note that Red Fort is closed on Mondays.

Hatchbacks start at ₹1,799 per day and SUVs like the Creta start at ₹3,499 per day. Delivery in Connaught Place is free. Fuel, tolls and extra kilometres beyond 300 km/day are extra.
