Puri FAQ Section
General
Do you offer self-drive car delivery from Bhubaneswar Airport to Puri?
Yes! While we have dedicated hubs in Puri, you can coordinate with us to have your self-drive car delivered directly to Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) in Bhubaneswar so you can drive yourself down the beautiful New Jagannath Sadak straight to Puri.
Can I rent a self-drive car in Puri for a complete local temple and beach tour?
Absolutely. Renting a self-drive car is the most comfortable way for families to explore the Gundicha Temple, Lokanath Temple, Chandrabhaga Beach, and the Konark Sun Temple without dealing with local transport negotiations.
What types of self-drive cars are available in your Puri fleet?
Our fleet covers all travel needs. We offer compact hatchbacks for easy parking around Swargadwar, comfortable sedans for business or executive trips, and spacious SUVs (like the Ertiga, Scorpio, or Nexon) perfect for family road trips along the coast.
Is fuel included in the self-drive car rental tariff?
To keep our base booking rates as affordable as possible, we follow a "Self-Fueling" model. The car will be handed over to you with a set fuel level, and you simply return it with the same amount. There are several fuel stations along the Puri bypass to top up easily.
Can I drive a GoWheelo rental car from Puri to Chilika Lake or Raghurajpur?
Yes! Our cars carry valid all-India tourist permits. You can comfortably drive to the famous Raghurajpur Heritage Crafts Village or spend a day at Satapada (Chilika Lake) with your family in total comfort.
What is the eligibility criteria to rent a self-drive car in Puri?
The primary driver must be at least 21 years old and possess a valid, original Indian Driving License (LMV) held for at least one year. A valid government ID like an Aadhaar Card or Passport is also required for digital verification at pickup.
What are the speed limits for self-drive cars on the Puri-Konark Marine Drive and highways?
Per government road safety guidelines, all self-drive rental cars are speed-governed at 80 km/h. Exceeding this limit triggers automated alerts and penalty fines, especially on the strictly monitored NH-316 highway corridor.
How is the security deposit refunded after dropping off the car?
Upon returning the vehicle to our Puri hub, our team does a quick 5-minute digital check of the vehicle's condition and checks for active toll/traffic logs. Your security deposit refund is initiated instantly on-site, reflecting back in your bank within 24–48 business hours.
Can I book a premium SUV for a wedding or family event in Puri?
Yes! Our clean, premium SUVs and sedans are frequently booked for family functions, rituals, and executive travel across major hotels and resorts along New Marine Drive Road. We recommend booking our "Unlimited Kilometers" package for hassle-free event travel.
What should I do if the rental car is involved in a minor dent or accident?
In the event of any damage or breakdown, park safely on the side of the road and call our support helpline immediately. All our self-drive cars are comprehensively insured, and your financial liability is limited to the standard insurance deductible, provided all terms and traffic laws were followed.
