How a one-way drop from Madurai works
Send the date and drop point
One WhatsApp message to 90039 62006, or a call to 90039 61006: the date, the pickup area, your drop point and how many are travelling.
Get one one-way fare
The desk replies with the fare for the vehicle that fits, and nothing for the return. An advance confirms the booking.
Get dropped
The driver picks you up in Madurai and drops you where you are going. You pay the balance to the driver.
What you do not pay
No return kilometres: the car is billed only from your pickup in Madurai to your drop point. Driver bata is charged once, not for each day, and the drive carries no night charge.
What you pay
The kilometres at the one-way rate, from ₹15 per km, plus ₹400 driver bata. A drop is billed for at least 130 km.
Toll, parking and other-state permits are paid at actual; a drop into Kerala pays the Kerala permit. A hill road adds a hill charge of ₹1,000. GST at 5% is added to the bill.
Cars
A sedan for four, an Ertiga for six or an Innova Crysta for six, each based in Madurai with its driver. The table on this page has each car's one-way rate and bata.
On the way
A drop of more than 100 km includes one stop for a meal. The trip is point to point; other stops, or waiting on the way, are charged at the rate the desk states when you book.
Pickup and booking
The car comes to your home, a hotel near the Meenakshi Amman temple, Madurai Junction, the Mattuthavani bus stand or the airport. Send the date, the pickup and the drop on WhatsApp; the desk replies with one fare and tells you the advance when it confirms.
Choose your car
Each car has its own one-way rate per km and its driver bata, charged once. The desk matches the car to your group.

One message, one fare, one way from Madurai
A retired couple in Madurai is going to stay with their daughter in another city for a month, with luggage for the stay. They do not want a train with the bags, or a car that charges for coming back empty. They send the date and the address on WhatsApp and get the one-way fare, with the bata charged once. The car collects them at home and drops them at the door where their daughter lives.
