A full-day drop from the Kongu belt to Chennai. Business travellers use it when a meeting overruns and the last flight is gone; families use it when there is too much luggage for a 45-minute flight to make sense.

Why book this as a one-way drop?
A traditional outstation quote for Coimbatore to Chennai assumes the vehicle drives back — so you are billed for up to 1020 km even though you travel 510. 1WAYDROP plans vehicles around one-way demand between these two cities, so your fare covers the leg you are actually on.
Frequently asked questions
Can you pick up from Coimbatore Airport?
Yes. Peelamedu pickups are straightforward and add only a few minutes to the run.
Can the pickup be from Ooty instead?
Yes, but book it as an Ooty pickup. The ghat descent adds two to three hours and is priced separately from the Coimbatore drop.
What time should I leave to reach Chennai by evening?
Leave Coimbatore by 08:00. Later departures usually mean arriving in Chennai after 20:00, which is slower through the city.
Travelling the other way?
One-way taxi from Chennai to Coimbatore, priced and written for that direction.
