A driver on call — also called a call driver or acting driver — is a professional driver who comes to you and drives your own car, for an hour, a day or longer. DriveBuddy provides verified drivers on call across Raipur, Bhilai, Durg and Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh, 24 hours a day.

DriveBuddy charges ₹300 for one hour, ₹600 for three hours, ₹1,000–1,200 for a local full day of eight hours and ₹1,300–1,650 a day for outstation trips, by distance (₹1,300–1,400 a day up to 150 km away, ₹1,450–1,550 up to 300 km, ₹1,550–1,650 farther), with one-way car drops by the hour or the day; the night driver (8 PM to 6 AM) starts from ₹500. A monthly driver is ₹16,000–17,000 a month on the Basic plan or ₹20,000 on Premium; wedding drivers are quoted on the call. These are the driver’s charges only — you provide the car and fuel. For weddings and events we can also bring the car, with our driver, quoted together.

We guarantee a driver at your location within 30 minutes anywhere in Raipur, Bhilai, Durg or Bilaspur. In practice it is usually 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day.

Cash, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) and bank transfer. Rates are fixed at the time of booking, with no surge pricing and no hidden charges.

Yes — for the baraat and family cars, guest pickups from the station and airport, and drops after a late function. If you are short of cars, we can also send a car with our driver. Tell us the date, the number of cars and the timings, and we quote the whole event.

Yes. With a one-way car drop, a verified driver delivers your car to the address you give and makes their own way back by bus or train. You pay ₹1,550–1,650 for each 12 hours of driving and ₹120 for each hour beyond (more than 7 hours beyond = a full day) — a shorter drive: ₹600 for up to 3 hours of driving, then ₹120 an hour; more than 6 hours = a local full day (₹1,000–1,200) — plus his way home — from the drop until he is home, waiting for his train included — ₹120 an hour — more than 6 hours in a day counts as a full day (₹1,200). You book his ticket home. The booking form shows the estimate.

Pickups are in these four cities. Outstation trips and one-way car drops start from any of them and can go anywhere in Chhattisgarh and beyond — call 9111473929 for a quote on the full journey.
