Shrinidhi writes a detailed guide to self-drive car rentals in India.  He talks about the pros and cons, general terms for such car rentals, and also mentions who offers self-drive car rentals in India.  Quite a comprehensive post.

1. Take a car made by either Maruthi/Tata or Mahindra. These manufacturers have dealers all over India and if something goes wrong finding help will be easy. Other makers like Skoda, Chevy etc are yet to spread their dealership network and service centers.

2. Insist on a relatively new vehicle which is less than 2-3 years old and that vehicle should have relatively newer tyres.
