[ajaysengar]

Understanding documentation requirements ensures smooth booking and avoids last-minute hassles. Here's what you need based on actual rental experiences.

For Individual Bookings:

1. Valid Government ID: Aadhar Card, Driving License, Passport, or Voter ID
2. Contact Details: Working mobile number and email address
3. Address Proof: Required by most companies for verification
4. Advance Payment Receipt: UPI/bank transfer confirmation

For Corporate Bookings:

1. Company authorization letter on letterhead
2. GST number for invoice
3. Contact person's ID proof
4. Purchase order (if applicable)

Driver Documentation (Provided by Rental Company): When you book tempo traveller rental in Delhi, the company should provide:

• Driver's valid commercial license
• Vehicle registration certificate (RC)
• Insurance papers (comprehensive coverage)
• Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate
• Permit for interstate travel (if going outside Delhi)
• Emergency contact numbers

Booking Process Documentation:

1. Written Agreement: Always insist on a written contract mentioning pickup time, destination, pricing, fuel policy, and cancellation terms
2. Payment Receipt: Keep digital and physical copies
3. Vehicle Details: Note down vehicle number, driver name, and contact

Real Experience Tip: During my Rajasthan trip booking, I created a simple checklist and verified all documents before the vehicle arrived. This saved us from a situation where the original driver called in sick, and the replacement didn't have proper interstate permits—we caught this early and got it resolved.

Security Deposit: Some companies ask for ₹2,000-5,000 refundable security deposit. Ensure you get a receipt and clarity on the refund process.

Red Flags to Avoid:

• Companies not asking for any ID proof
• No written agreement
• Driver without commercial license
• Vehicle without proper insurance
