## How is any taxi fare worked out?

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.

| Trip (sedan) | Working | Fare |
|---|---|---|
| Becharaji to Mehsana, one way, 40 km | 40 × ₹12 = ₹480, below the minimum | ₹1,000 |
| Becharaji to Ahmedabad, one way, 100 km | 100 × ₹12 | ₹1,200 |
| Becharaji to Ahmedabad and back, same day | 300 × ₹12 + ₹300 | ₹3,900 |
| Becharaji to Ambaji and back, same day, 340 km | 340 × ₹12 + ₹300 | ₹4,380 |

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