Intercity Travel: Making the Most of Your Road Trip

By TURTL Editorial

Planning an outstation trip? Here's how to choose between one-way and round-trip, and what to expect on intercity journeys.

Intercity road travel offers flexibility, comfort, and the ability to enjoy the journey. Here's what to consider when planning your outstation trip.

One-Way vs Round-Trip

One-way trips are ideal when you're relocating or returning by a different mode of transport. Round-trips are more economical when you need the vehicle for the return journey, as they save on return logistics costs.

Driver Allowance

For outstation trips, a daily driver allowance covers meals and rest. This is standard practice and ensures your driver is well-rested and alert.

Night Charges

Trips that involve night driving (typically 10 PM to 5 AM) may include night charges. This compensates the driver for the additional effort and risk of night driving.

Toll and Parking

Most outstation trips have toll and parking as pass-through costs — you pay the actual amount. Always clarify this when booking.
