When planning an outstation trip, one of the biggest questions customers face is: Should I book a one-way drop taxi or a round trip cab? At Drop Taxi Chennai, we provide both services to suit different travel needs, and each option has its own advantages depending on your plan. Let’s break it down.
One-Way Drop Taxi – Pay Only for the distance travel
A one-way drop taxi is ideal if you’re traveling to a destination but don’t plan to return the same day or next day.
Fare structure: Starts at ₹14 per km with a minimum coverage of 130 km.
Best suited for:
- Business trips with a long stay at the destination
- Pilgrimage or holidays where return is not immediate
- Family relocations or permanent moves
Key benefit: pay only for the one-way journey instead of covering the cost of the return trip.
Example: If you’re traveling from Chennai to Trichy (~330 km) and staying there for a few days, a one-way drop taxi saves you money compared to round trip fares.
Round Trip Taxi – Affordable for Same-Day & Next-Day Returns
A round trip cab is the smarter choice when you plan to return on the same day or the next day.
Fare structure: Starts at ₹13 per km with a minimum coverage of 250 km per day.
No waiting charges: The driver stays with you, so you can finish your work, attend events, or visit places without extra costs.
Best suited for:
- Same-day business meetings or family functions
- Temple visits with quick return
- Long-distance travel where return is planned soon
Example: A Chennai to Madurai trip (~450 km one-way, ~900 km round trip) is cost-effective if you’re returning within two days. A round trip saves more compared to booking two separate one-way rides.
Which Option Saves More?
Choose One way drop taxi if:
- You are not returning the same or next day.
- You want to pay only for a single journey.
Choose Round Trip Taxi if:
- Plan a same-day return within a short distance.
- Covering long distances with a return planned the next day.
- Want flexibility without worrying about return cab availability.
Both one-way drop taxis and round trip cabs offer excellent value, it all depends on travel plan. If relocating or staying longer, a drop taxi saves more. But for same-day returns or short trips, a round trip is more economical and convenient.
At Drop Taxi Chennai, we provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective cab services across Tamil Nadu and Bangalore, ensuring always get the best option for your journey.
