What the one-way fare covers
- A one-way drop is billed from Chennai to your drop point at the one-way rate, for at least 130 km.
- There is no charge for the vehicle's empty return.
- Driver bata is charged once for the trip.
- Toll, parking and other-state permits are extra; a fixed total to a place already includes them. GST at 5% is added to the bill.
- The trip is point to point. A drop of more than 100 km includes one stop for a meal; other stops, or waiting on the way, are charged extra.
- Distances on this site are approximate; detours, road blocks and U-turns are not counted, and on a per-km fare the odometer is final. See the terms.
- The AC is switched off on hill roads. No smoking or alcohol in the vehicle.
- An advance confirms the booking; the balance is paid to the driver on the trip. Rates move with the diesel price, so the desk confirms the fare when you book.
How a one-way fare is worked out is answered in the FAQ.
One message, one fare, to Thanjavur
A dance student is going to Thanjavur for the Brahan Natyanjali festival at the Brihadisvara Temple, and will travel on to Kumbakonam afterwards. A car back to Chennai does not fit the plan. One WhatsApp message with the date and the pickup area brings back one one-way fare. The car drops her in Thanjavur, and the rest of the trip is hers to plan.
