What is a drop taxi from Pondicherry to Rayachoti?+
The same thing as a one-way cab: the car takes you from Pondicherry to Rayachoti and you pay for that direction only, never for the driver's return. On Gaadix every one-way fare is a drop-taxi fare — the 597.5 km you book are the kilometres you pay for.

Worth knowing about this route
This route crosses into Andhra Pradesh
Leaving Puducherry for Andhra Pradesh means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Andhra Pradesh, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
