The Puri–Cuttack trip is about 90.5 km of road, give or take, and most travellers budget around 1 hour 39 minutes for the drive. You'll be on NH16 or NH19 (the eastern corridor) for most of it. Sedan fares begin at ₹4,499; step up to an SUV or Tempo Traveller if you've got more people or luggage.
The Puri to Cuttack cab ride covers approximately 91 km and usually takes about 1 hour via NH16 or NH19 (the eastern corridor). The fare you see is the fare you pay, no surge, no meter, tolls included. Your advance is held in escrow until pickup, every driver is KYC-verified, and you get GPS tracking plus english, hindi, and bengali support.
The drive: roads, tolls and where to stop
an estimated 1 toll plaza (roughly Rs. 80 total, figure is an estimate and confirmed at booking). All tolls and state taxes are included in your Sairgah upfront fare, so you pay nothing extra to the driver.
Choosing your vehicle
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹4,499. Step up to an SUV like an Innova or Ertiga if you've got six people or a lot of bags, or a Tempo Traveller (12–17 seats) for bigger groups and wedding or corporate travel. Every vehicle is AC, cleaned before the trip, and driven by a verified, GPS-tracked driver. Closer to Cuttack, we cover Bhubaneswar, Choudwar, Belagachhia as well.
What the fare actually includes
The number you see when you book is the number you pay at the end. That covers fuel, toll tax, state entry tax, the driver's meals, GST and parking — built up from the 90.5 km distance at the vehicle's per-km rate plus the driver's daily allowance. There's no "toll extra, sir" at the end of the trip. Short routes may carry a minimum-km floor.
One-way vs round trip on this route
Two ways to book: a one-way drop, where you're not charged for the driver's return if they can pick up another fare back; or a round trip, where the driver waits and brings you home. One-way usually costs less if you're flying or training back. Round trip makes sense if you want the car with you at Cuttack for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
Every driver on the Puri–Cuttack route knows the corridor — we don't send a city cabbie out on an unfamiliar highway for their first time. Free cancellation up to four hours before pickup, GPS tracking on every vehicle, and a real person on the phone if anything comes up. Book online or message us on WhatsApp for a custom quote.
