The minimum rental period is 12 hours. Most guests rent for 1–3 days for temple circuits and beach trips.

A valid Driving Licence (minimum 1 year old), Aadhaar card, PAN card, and a selfie. All KYC is 100% digital — done in the app in minutes.
Are there dress code requirements for the Jagannath Temple and Konark Sun Temple?
The Jagannath Temple in Puri restricts entry to Hindus only — non-Hindus may view it from the Raghunandan Library rooftop nearby. Modest dress is expected. The Konark Sun Temple has no religion-based restriction; modest dress is appreciated. Entry fee is ₹40 for Indians and ₹600 for foreigners.
Are there toll charges on the Bhubaneswar to Puri highway (NH 316)?
Yes. There is a toll plaza on NH 316. For a standard 4-wheeler, expect approximately ₹80–₹120 one way (budget ₹200–₹250 for the round trip). FASTag is accepted at the toll; keep your balance topped up or carry cash as a backup.
Where should I park when visiting the Jagannath Temple area in Puri?
Parking is available on Grand Road (Bada Danda) and near the Puri bus stand — both within a 5–10 minute walk of the temple. Paid lots charge ₹20–₹50 for cars. Avoid parking on the temple's four ceremonial roads on festival days. The lighthouse area is convenient for Puri beach parking.
What is the best time to visit the Konark Sun Temple from Bhubaneswar?
Early morning (8–11 AM) is ideal — the light is best for photography and crowds are thinner. In the evenings, the Sound and Light Show runs at 7 PM (Nov–Mar) and 8 PM (Apr–Oct), lasting 45 minutes. Combine a morning Golden Triangle drive with an evening Sound & Light Show at Konark for the complete experience.
Can I rent a self drive car in Bhubaneswar for Rath Yatra or other festivals?
Yes, but book 3–4 weeks in advance for Rath Yatra (June–July), Konark Dance Festival (December), and Ekamra Utsav (January). Demand peaks 5x during these windows and prices firm up. SUVs like Scorpio N and Grand Vitara sell out first — secure the booking early via WhatsApp.
Is the Bhubaneswar–Puri–Konark Marine Drive route open year-round?
Yes. The 35 km coastal Marine Drive between Puri and Konark is one of India's most scenic stretches and is paved, well-marked, and open all year. Drive it east-to-west (Puri → Konark) in the morning for the best sea-side light. Watch out for sand drifts after cyclone season (Oct–Nov) and avoid late-night driving as the road has limited lighting.
