Local Cab — 4 hr / 40 km (Dzire)

The half-day hire for trips that do not need a full day: a Sarnath excursion with the museum, a saree-shopping run through Godowlia and the weaving lanes, or two or three temples before the afternoon heat.

Four hours and forty kilometres in an AC Dzire, driver waiting at every stop. Start whenever suits you — the morning slots are cooler and quieter. If your plan grows mid-ride, the driver can extend at standard per-hour and per-km rates shown to you upfront.
