When booking a rental car, many customers assume "unlimited kilometres" is the best deal. But in reality, unlimited kilometre plans often come with heavily inflated base rental prices—costing 40% to 60% more per day. On the flip side, some platforms offer cheap base rates but cap daily driving at a restrictive 120 km or 150 km, charging an exorbitant ₹15–₹20 for every extra kilometre.
Here is why a balanced 350 km/day package from Next Miles offers the most cost-effective and realistic option for both city driving and outstation road trips from Bangalore.
1. Why 350 Km/Day is the Sweet Spot for Bangalore Travelers
- City & Outskirts: A busy day commuting across Bangalore, visiting Nandi Hills, or driving out to Ramanagara rarely exceeds 120–180 km. A 350 km limit gives you more than double what you need with zero risk of penalty.
- Weekend Highway Road Trips:
- Bangalore to Mysore: ~145 km one way (290 km round-trip) $\rightarrow$ Fully covered within a 1-day 350 km allowance!
- Bangalore to Coorg: ~250 km one way (500 km round trip) $\rightarrow$ Over a 2-day weekend booking (700 km allowance), you have 200 extra buffer kilometres for local sightseeing!
- Bangalore to Chikmagalur: ~245 km one way (490 km round trip) $\rightarrow$ Fully covered within a 2-day booking (700 km allowance).
