Why book this as a one-way drop?
A traditional outstation quote for Chennai to Bangalore assumes the vehicle drives back — so you are billed for up to 700 km even though you travel 350. 1WAYDROP plans vehicles around one-way demand between these two cities, so your fare covers the leg you are actually on.
