Self-Drive Car Rental in Clock Tower / Paltan Bazaar, Dehradun
The Clock Tower, or Ghanta Ghar, is the literal centre of Dehradun — the point where Rajpur Road, Chakrata Road, Haridwar Road and Paltan Bazaar all converge. Paltan Bazaar fanning out beside it is the old shopping heart, packed with shops, eateries and shoppers from morning to night. For anyone staying or shopping in the core, a self-drive car kept here means every direction out of the city is a single turn away.

Getting around from Clock Tower / Paltan Bazaar
This is the hub every Dehradun road runs to, so from the Clock Tower you can pick your highway directly: Rajpur Road north toward Mussoorie, Chakrata Road west, Haridwar Road south-east, and Saharanpur Chowk toward ISBT and the Delhi highway. The Railway Station is about 1 km away and Rajpur Road's cafés begin right here. The trade-off is congestion — Paltan Bazaar and the Clock Tower junction are the most crowded spots in the city, slow through most of the day and tight on parking, so it's best to drive out early and avoid the bazaar lanes at peak hours.
