Safety First: Our 20-Point Sanitization & Maintenance Checklist

At Utkal Rides, we believe a great journey starts with a safe and spotless vehicle. Whether you are booking a self-drive car in Bhubaneswar for a business meeting or a family trip to Puri, our rigorous safety protocols ensure your health and security are never compromised.

We don't just wash our cars; we deep-clean and mechanically inspect them before every single handover. From our Mahindra Thar 4x4 to our premium Hyundai Verna, every vehicle in our fleet undergoes a mandatory 20-point inspection to ensure it's road-ready for Odisha's diverse terrain.

“A clean car is a happy car, but a safe car is a necessity. Our sanitization process is designed to give you the same peace of mind you have in your own personal vehicle.”
