One Way vs Round Trip Cab from Patna: Which Should You Book?
When you ask for a cab from Patna to another city, the first question you will hear is: one way or round trip? The answer changes the fare and the way the trip works, so it helps to understand both before you enquire.
How a one way cab works
In a one way booking, the cab picks you up in Patna and drops you at your destination. The booking ends there. You are charged for that single journey as quoted.
Choose a one way cab when:
- You are not returning to Patna, or you are returning after many days
- You are travelling to catch a train or flight from another city
- You are going home after a visit, an exam or a hospital stay
- You are moving to another city
How a round trip cab works
In a round trip booking, the same car and driver stay with you for the full journey. They take you to the destination, remain with you for local travel there, and bring you back to Patna.
Choose a round trip cab when:
- You will return within a day or a few days
- You want to visit several places on one journey, such as Nalanda, Rajgir and Bodh Gaya
- You are travelling with elders or children and want a car available at all times
- You are attending a wedding or function and need the car at the venue
Which one costs less?
It depends on how long you stay.
- Same-day return: a round trip is nearly always the sensible choice, because you need the car for both directions on the same day.
- Return after two or three days: compare both. A round trip keeps the car with you throughout. Two separate one way cabs leave you without a car at the destination.
- Return after a week or more: two one way bookings usually make more sense than keeping a car waiting.
Three examples
Patna to Gaya for a train. You only need to reach Gaya Junction. Book one way.
Patna to Rajgir and Nalanda for a day with family. You will come back the same evening and need the car at each site. Book a round trip.
Patna to Ranchi for a ten-day stay. Book a one way cab going, and another one way cab when your return date is fixed.
