A Varanasi to Ranchi cab covers 390 km in about 7 hr 30 min along NH-22 and NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road) and NH-2. Raahi Saarthi runs this leg as a true one-way service - you pay only for the direction you travel, with no empty-return surcharge. The most common booking on this leg is a drop at Birsa Munda Airport (IXR) for an onward flight, so we plan pickup time backwards from your departure and build in a two-hour airport buffer for domestic flights.
