Local note. CMC appointments start early. Most Vellore drops are booked for a 04:00–05:00 pickup from Chennai.
Why book this as a one-way drop?
A traditional outstation quote for Vellore to Chennai assumes the vehicle drives back — so you are billed for up to 280 km even though you travel 140. 1WAYDROP plans vehicles around one-way demand between these two cities, so your fare covers the leg you are actually on.
