Do rental cars in Bangladesh come with a driver?

Yes, as a rule. The rent-a-car companies on bookingMentor supply a driver with the vehicle, which is how car hire normally works in Bangladesh. Self-drive is uncommon, so if you want to drive yourself, contact the company before you book and check what licence it accepts.

What kinds of vehicles can I rent?

More than sedans. Between them the companies list: Sedans such as the Toyota Premio, Allion and Corolla; Microbuses such as the Toyota Noah and Hi-Ace; Minibuses and 29 or 40 seat AC buses; Pickups, covered vans and trucks; Ambulances, from some of the Dhaka companies.

Can I take the car outside Dhaka or Chattogram?

Yes. With a driver, out-of-town trips to places such as Cox's Bazar, Sylhet or Rangamati are a common booking. Tell the company your route and how many nights you will be away when you book, and agree in advance who pays for fuel, tolls and the driver's food and lodging.

Who do I contact if the car or driver does not arrive?

Call the rental company first, using the details in your booking confirmation. If you cannot reach them, bookingMentor support answers around the clock on +880 1723 808 286, or write to support@bookingmentor.com. Common questions are answered in the Help Center.

Which car rental companies can I book on bookingMentor?

Companies based in Dhaka and Chattogram, all shown in the car rental cards at the top of this page. Each listing shows the fleet, the extras and the starting daily rate.

Can I book a car to pick me up from Dhaka airport?

Yes. One of the Dhaka companies runs airport and railway transfers, and the airport pick-up table above gives distances and off-peak drive times from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) to the main districts. Add your flight number and landing time to the booking and agree the meeting point before you travel.

Are child seats available?

Yes, from some of the companies. Both offer an infant seat, a toddler seat and a GPS unit as one-time extras that you add on the booking form.

Is my car booking confirmed straight away?

It depends on the company. Some do, including the Chattogram company; each card says whether booking is instant. The other two confirm each request themselves, so book a little earlier with them.

Can I hire a car by the hour, week or month?

Yes. The car search offers one way, round trip, hourly, full day, weekly and monthly hire. Hourly hire is counted as one day, weekly as seven days and monthly as thirty days, and the search shows the total for the period you pick.

How much does it cost to rent a car?

Each listing shows its starting daily rate in its card. Enter your dates and rental period in the car search to see the total before you book. Fuel, tolls, parking and the driver's meals or night stay on out-of-town trips may be extra, so confirm them with the company.

Is there a discount code for car rental?

Yes. Code NEWROAD10 takes $10 off a car rental booking. Enter it at checkout, or tick "I have a negotiated rate" in the car search and type it there.

How do I cancel a car rental booking?

Email your cancellation request from the address you booked with; bookingMentor does not take cancellations by phone or live chat. Any refund depends on the rental company's rules, an approved refund takes 30 to 45 working days, and booking and service fees are not refunded. The full terms are in the Refunds & Cancellation Policy.

Know Before You Book

Hiring a Car in Bangladesh

In short

Car rental in Bangladesh nearly always means a car with a driver. bookingMentor lists rent-a-car companies in Dhaka and Chattogram and prices trips by the hour, day, week or month as well as one way and round trip. Ask what the rate includes before you confirm, as fuel, tolls and the driver's meals are often extra.

How car hire works here

You book the vehicle, and a driver who knows the roads comes with it, which takes care of Dhaka traffic, parking and the long highway runs between cities. The companies in the cards above differ mainly in fleet and extras. Between them they cover sedans, microbuses, minibuses and AC buses, pickups, covered vans and trucks, and some of them also run ambulances. Each listing names its own fleet.

Choosing the rental period

The car search prices a trip six ways:

One way
Round trip
Hourly, counted as one day
Full day
Weekly, counted as seven days
Monthly, counted as thirty days

Hourly and full-day bookings suit airport runs, office meetings and a day of errands across the city. Weekly and monthly hire is what companies, wedding parties and families on a long visit home tend to choose, because the same car and driver stay with you for the whole period.

Picking the vehicle

A sedan suits two or three people; four adults with suitcases will be cramped in one. A Toyota Noah or Hi-Ace microbus is the usual pick for a family trip to Cox's Bazar or Sylhet, and the 29- and 40-seat AC buses on offer in Chattogram cover wedding parties and office outings. Each listing shows the seats, luggage space, doors and gearbox.

Airport and station pick-ups

One of the Dhaka companies runs airport and railway transfers, as its card shows. Give your flight number and landing time when you book, so the company can plan around a late arrival at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, and agree where the driver will wait before you fly.

What the rate covers

The price on each card is the starting daily rate, not the full cost of the trip. Before you confirm, ask the company what it includes: fuel, bridge and highway tolls, parking, and the driver's meals and overnight stay on trips outside the city are often charged on top. Some of the companies offer infant and toddler seats and a GPS unit as extras you can add on the booking form.

Code NEWROAD10 takes $10 off a car rental booking. If your plans change, cancellations follow the Refunds & Cancellation Policy.
