FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Andhra Pradesh State Entry Tax included in the fare?

Yes! With puritaxi.in, the state entry tax for Andhra Pradesh is fully included in your one-way or round-trip quote. Our drivers pay the permit fee online via the Parivahan portal before we pick you up, ensuring a seamless border crossing at Ichchapuram.

How long does the 480 km Puri to Vizag trip take?

A direct drive at a moderate speed takes approximately 8.5 to 9.5 hours. If you include a lunch break at Chilika and a short tea break near Srikakulam, the total travel time is usually around 10.5 hours.

Which route is better: NH-16 or the coastal road?

We always recommend the NH-16 (East Coast Highway). It is a well-maintained four-lane highway with median dividers, making it much safer and faster than interior coastal roads, especially for a long journey of 480 km.

Are your drivers comfortable with night driving on the highway?

Yes, but we prioritize safety. If you book a late-night departure, we assign "High-Speed Corridor Certified" drivers who have extensive experience with nighttime highway visibility and fatigue management.
