An outstation trip is a big commitment of time and money. Before you confirm any booking, run through this quick checklist.

Fare & inclusions Ask for an itemised quote — fuel, driver bata, tolls, night halt and GST should all be disclosed upfront.

Driver & vehicle Confirm the driver's name and mobile number. Ask for the vehicle number plate and check that it matches on pickup.

Contact channels A working 24×7 phone line and WhatsApp are non-negotiable for outstation travel.

Payment Prefer operators who accept UPI and card, not just cash.
