Weekend & Day Rental FAQs — Ranchi
Can I book a Drigo car for just 12 hours in Ranchi?
Yes. The minimum rental duration on Drigo is 12 hours — making it perfect for half-day and full-day trips. The 12-hour slot is ideal for day trips to Hundru Falls (45 km), Dassam Falls (40 km), Kanke Dam (10 km), or a city tour. Simply select your pickup time and choose 12 hours at checkout.
What is the cheapest car for a one-day trip from Ranchi?
The Maruti Swift is the most popular and cheapest car for day trips from Ranchi at ₹999/day (12-hour minimum). It is compact, fuel-efficient (18–22 km/litre), and comfortably seats 4 adults. The Maruti Baleno at ₹1,299/day is the next step up — more cabin space and a slightly smoother ride on the highway.
Can I go to Hundru Falls and back in one day from Ranchi on a self drive?
Absolutely. Hundru Falls is 45 km from Ranchi — about 1 hour each way. A 12-hour rental is more than enough: leave at 8 AM, arrive by 9 AM, spend 3–4 hours at the falls including the descent, and return to Ranchi comfortably by 3–4 PM. The Maruti Swift at ₹999 is the most popular car for this day trip.
What is the fuel policy for a one-day or weekend Drigo rental?
Drigo cars are provided with a full fuel tank. You return the car with the same fuel level — you pay for what you use. For a 90 km round trip to Hundru Falls in a Maruti Swift (20 km/litre), expect to use approximately 4.5 litres of fuel. Diesel cars are even more economical.
Do I need to pay a security deposit for a day rental on Drigo?
A refundable security deposit is required for all Drigo rentals regardless of duration. For hatchbacks, the deposit is typically ₹2,000–₹5,000; for SUVs it is ₹5,000–₹10,000. The deposit is returned in full within 24–48 hours of satisfactory inspection after return. Details are shown clearly at checkout before payment.
