Drigo Expands Self Drive Car Rental Operations in Ranchi, Offering Jharkhand Travellers Affordable, Driver-Free Mobility from ₹999 Per Day

RANCHI, JHARKHAND, April 14, 2026 - Drigo India Cars Pvt Ltd, a technology-enabled self drive car rental platform headquartered in Ranchi, today announced the continued expansion of its operations across Jharkhand's capital city, reinforcing its position as the region's most accessible and affordable driverless car rental service. With a fleet spanning hatchbacks, premium sedans, compact and full-size SUVs, and 7-seater MPVs - available from just ₹999 per day - Drigo is reshaping the way residents, business travellers, and tourists experience mobility in Ranchi and its surrounding landscapes.

Since its founding in 2019, Drigo has served thousands of travellers across Jharkhand and Odisha with a simple promise: drive on your own terms, on your own schedule, without the cost or inconvenience of a hired driver. The platform's entirely digital booking and KYC process - completed in under five minutes via WhatsApp - has made it a preferred choice for IT professionals, weekend adventurers, and visiting business travellers who value speed, transparency, and flexibility.

"
Ranchi is one of eastern India's most underexplored destinations. Our mission is to make every waterfall, every valley, and every road trip from this city accessible - without a driver, without paperwork, and without breaking the budget.
- Founder, Drigo India Cars Pvt Ltd

Redefining Car Rental in Ranchi
Drigo's rental model addresses the two most common pain points that travellers face with conventional car hire in Ranchi: unpredictable pricing and mandatory driver dependency. The platform charges a fixed, pre-agreed daily rate with no surge pricing, no last-minute additions, and no driver charges - customers are shown the complete price before they pay.
The company's fleet in Ranchi is specifically curated to serve the city's diverse travel demand. City commuters opt for the Maruti Swift (from ₹999/day) or Maruti Baleno (from ₹1,299/day); families and groups prefer the Hyundai Creta (from ₹1,799/day), Mahindra Scorpio 7-seater (from ₹2,499/day), or Toyota Innova Crysta (from ₹4,000/day); and adventure travellers heading into Jharkhand's forested highland terrain regularly book the Mahindra Thar (from ₹3,500/day).

Key features of Drigo's Ranchi service include:
• Fully digital booking and KYC:
Customers upload their Aadhaar card, Driving Licence, PAN card, and a selfie via WhatsApp. Verification is completed in minutes - no office visit, no physical documentation, and no waiting required.
• Airport delivery at Birsa Munda International Airport (IXR):
Self drive cars are available for pickup near Birsa Munda Airport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, coordinated directly with guests via WhatsApp upon arrival.
• Outstation travel permitted:
Guests may drive across Jharkhand, Odisha, and neighbouring states. Popular routes include Ranchi to Hundru Falls, Dassam Falls, Betla National Park, Deoghar, Puri, and Kolkata.
• No kilometre restrictions:
Drigo operates a no-km-limit policy on its standard rental packages, giving travellers the freedom to cover as much ground as their itinerary requires without overage penalties.
• Instant security deposit refund:
Security deposits are refunded immediately upon vehicle return and inspection, with no delays or deductions beyond agreed damage liability terms.
• Transparent, fixed pricing:
Daily rates are published upfront with no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges in the rate, and no surge pricing during peak seasons or festivals.

Why Ranchi Is Eastern India's Premier Self-Drive Destination
Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand and widely celebrated as the 'City of Waterfalls,' sits at an altitude of approximately 651 metres on the Chotanagpur Plateau. The city is home to some of eastern India's most dramatic natural scenery - including Hundru Falls (plunging 320 feet off the Subarnarekha River), the legendary Patratu Valley hairpin-bend road, Jonha Falls adjacent to an ancient Buddhist temple, and the wildlife-rich corridors of Betla National Park, home to tigers and Asiatic elephants. Additionally, Ranchi is the hometown of cricket icon Mahendra Singh Dhoni, making it a destination of national and international sporting tourism significance.
Despite this richness, Ranchi's most spectacular attractions are distributed across a 150 km radius from the city centre - a geography that makes public transport and conventional cab services impractical for multi-destination day trips. A self drive car is, as Drigo notes, the only practical way to experience Jharkhand's landscapes on your own schedule, at your own pace, and within a predictable budget.

Drigo saves me ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 per day compared to hiring a driver - and I get to stop wherever I want, for as long as I want. The digital KYC took three minutes. I had the keys in my hand within an hour of landing at Birsa Munda Airport.

Expanding Across Jharkhand and Odisha
Drigo currently operates in two cities - Ranchi (Jharkhand) and Bhubaneswar (Odisha) - and has signalled intentions to expand into Jamshedpur as part of its next phase of growth. The Bhubaneswar service, launched as a natural extension of demand from travellers driving the Ranchi-Puri-Konark circuit, offers self drive cars from ₹1,499/day with pickup available at Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI). The platform has accumulated a 4.8-star guest rating across more than 600 verified reviews on Justdial and third-party platforms since its founding.
The company serves a broad demographic: IT professionals and corporate travellers commuting within Ranchi's expanding business districts; families seeking affordable outstation alternatives to costly chauffeur-driven packages; adventure travellers targeting Jharkhand's waterfalls, forests, and tribal cultural circuits; and tourists arriving at Birsa Munda Airport who need immediate, reliable access to a self-drive vehicle without the delays and uncertainty of on-the-spot cab bookings.
