# Are tolls, parking and taxes included in the taxi fare?

**Short answer:** No. Tolls, parking and state tax are extra, at actual cost.

No. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels quotes the fare as the per-km rate times the distance (at least ₹1,000 per booking), and tolls, parking and state tax are added at the actual amount paid on the trip. There is no fixed toll charge and no margin added: you pay exactly what the toll plaza, the car park or the state check post charges.

## Key facts: what is and is not in the fare

| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| In the fare | Distance × per-km rate (₹12 sedan, ₹13 Ertiga, ₹18 Innova Crysta) |
| Tolls | Extra, at actual cost |
| Parking | Extra, at actual cost (airports, stations, hospitals, temples) |
| State tax | Extra when the car enters another state, for example Rajasthan |
| Driver allowance | ₹300 a day on outstation trips |
| Night charge | 20% for driving between 10 PM and 6 AM |
| Waiting | First 30 minutes free, then ₹100 an hour |
| On the bill | Extras charged at the actual amount paid |

## Why are tolls and parking kept separate?

Because they change with the route and the day, and we do not want to guess. Keeping them separate means you pay exactly what was charged on your trip, not a fixed amount rounded up to be safe.

A route with no tolls costs you nothing extra; a highway trip pays the plazas on the way. Parking depends on where the car waits: an airport, a station, a hospital or a temple car park.

## When does state tax apply?

State tax applies when a Gujarat taxi enters another state, such as Rajasthan for Udaipur, Mount Abu, Nathdwara or Jaipur. It is paid at the actual amount and shown separately.

| Trip | Tolls | Parking | State tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Becharaji to Mehsana (40 km) | If on route | If the car waits in a paid lot | No |
| Becharaji to Ahmedabad Airport (110 km) | If on route | Airport parking at actual cost | No |
| Ahmedabad to Udaipur (260 km) | On the highway | Hotels or sights | Yes, Rajasthan |
| Becharaji to Mount Abu (200 km) | On the highway | Hotels or sights | Yes, Rajasthan |

## Can you tell the extras before the trip?

Yes, roughly. When you book an outstation trip, ask us and we tell you whether the route has tolls and whether state tax applies, so there are no surprises. The exact amounts are what is paid on the day.

For the other items added to a fare, see the night charge (https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/fares-and-payment/night-charge/) and driver allowance (https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/fares-and-payment/driver-allowance-on-outstation-trips/).

## How do extras appear for company billing?

Tolls, parking and state tax are charged at the actual amount and shown on the invoice with the trip, so your accounts team can check them. A GST invoice is available on every trip.

Companies with regular travel can get a monthly consolidated invoice. See GST invoices for company bookings (https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/fares-and-payment/gst-invoice-for-corporate-taxi-bookings/).

## Follow-up questions

**Does the ₹1,700 airport fare include tolls?** No. Tolls, parking and the 20% night charge are extra on the airport fare.

**Do I pay the toll myself?** The driver pays on the way and it is added to your fare at the actual amount. Ask the driver for the toll receipts if you need them.

**Is GST included in the per-km rate?** Ask for a GST invoice when you book and we confirm the invoice amount before you travel.

**Is there a toll on local trips?** Usually not. Tolls apply only when the route crosses a toll plaza.
