Bangalore is home to premier educational institutions and universities—Christ University, IIM Bangalore, PES University, Dayananda Sagar, and Jain University—attracting ambitious students from across India. When semester breaks arrive or when friends plan spontaneous trips to Nandi Hills, Savandurga, or Mysore, renting a self-drive car is the most cost-effective way to travel together.
However, young renters often face unfair barriers: national aggregator apps demand credit cards with large credit limits, charge hefty age-based security deposits, or reject students outright.
Next Miles Self Drive Cars welcomes responsible students and young freshers with student-friendly policies.
1. Student-Friendly Features at Next Miles
- No Credit Card Required: Instead of freezing ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 on a credit card that most students don't possess, simply hand over your Original DL Card + your College Two-Wheeler (Bike/Scooter with key) for safe keeping at our hub.
- Affordable Group Splitting: Renting an agile hatchback like the Volkswagen Polo (₹2,300/day) or Swift Diesel (₹2,500/day) split among 4–5 friends costs less than ₹500 to ₹600 per person per day—far cheaper than individual bus tickets or private cabs!
- 100% Booking Guarantee: No surprise cancellations before dawn. If your sunrise drive to Nandi Hills is booked on WhatsApp, your sanitized car is waiting.
