# What is the minimum fare for a local cab booking?

**Short answer:** ₹1,000 per booking, in any car.

The minimum fare at Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels is ₹1,000 per booking. If the distance times the per-km rate comes to less than ₹1,000, you pay ₹1,000; if it comes to more, you pay the per-km fare. In a sedan at ₹12/km, the minimum covers trips up to about 83 km one way, so most local and short trips cost ₹1,000.

## How do you get more for the minimum?

Combine errands into one booking: several stops booked together count as one trip, so a market run, a hospital visit and a drop at the station can share the same ₹1,000 if the total distance stays inside it.

For a few hours of local running, an hourly or half-day rental (https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/booking/hourly-half-day-and-full-day-cab-rental/) may suit you better.
