Multiply the distance by the per-km rate for your car. On outstation trips, count at least 300 km for each day and add ₹300 a day for the driver. Then add tolls, parking and state tax, and 20% for any driving between 10 PM and 6 AM. Every booking is at least ₹1,000.

Indicative fares before tolls, parking and state tax. Booking in advance takes 10% off.
