Outstation cabs with the whole fare shown first
An outstation cab from Triveni Cabs is charged per kilometre — sedan ₹11/km, Innova Crysta ₹18/km — with fuel, the driver and GST already in that rate. Tolls and parking are charged at actual. Billing is a minimum of 300 km a day, which means every sedan trip shorter than 300 km comes to ₹3,300; past that you pay only for the distance you travel. The arithmetic is set out below rather than left in the fine print.

Why 230 km and 280 km cost the same
An outstation cab is yours for the day, and it has to drive home afterwards whether you used the full distance or not. So outstation travel is billed on a minimum of 300 km per day. Every operator in India works this way; most of them only mention it once the invoice arrives. Here is what it actually does to the price.
What to do with that. If your destination is comfortably under 300 km, you are paying for 300 km regardless — so add the second stop you were hesitating over. A Delhi–Agra booking that also takes in Fatehpur Sikri, or a Delhi–Haridwar run that continues to Rishikesh, costs nothing extra until the day’s total crosses 300 km. Most people leave that distance unused.

What the fare covers, and what it does not
Stated in full, because the complaint people have about intercity cabs is almost never the price — it is being told the price late.
In the quoted fare
- Fuel. For the entire distance, whatever the pump price does that week.
- Driver. Their wage and their daily allowance.
- GST. Already in the per-km rate, not added at the end.
- The vehicle for the full day. Including waiting time at your stops.
- The same driver throughout. No handovers at city or state boundaries.
Charged at actual, on top
- Tolls. Estimated for your corridor before you travel; receipts at the end.
- State entry permits. Where a route crosses a state border that levies one.
- Parking. At hotels, monuments and airports.
- Night allowance. A fixed amount per night when the driver stays away from base.
- Distance beyond the plan. Charged at the same per-km rate, not a penalty rate.
One-way or round trip?
The answer depends on one thing: whether you are coming back, and how soon.
Book one-way when
- • You are not returning at all — a relocation, an airport drop in another city, a leg of a longer itinerary.
- • You are staying several days and do not want a vehicle idle at the hotel.
- • You are flying one direction and driving the other.
You pay for one direction. The driver’s return is our problem, not yours.
Book a round trip when
- • You are back the same day or the next — a day trip to Agra, a weekend in Rishikesh.
- • You want the car with you at the destination for local sightseeing.
- • You are travelling with family, luggage or elderly passengers and want one vehicle throughout.
Cheaper per kilometre, because the return leg is already inside the daily minimum.
Which vehicle
Seating is the real constraint on a long drive — a sedan with four adults and four suitcases is uncomfortable by hour three.
| Vehicle | Typical models | Comfortable for | Luggage | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | Dzire, Etios, Amaze | 4 passengers | 2 large bags | ₹11/km |
| Ertiga | Maruti Ertiga | 6 passengers | 3 large bags | ₹15/km |
| Innova Crysta | Toyota Innova Crysta | 6–7 passengers | 4 large bags | ₹18/km |
| Tempo Traveller | 12–17 seater | 12–17 passengers | Roof carrier | ₹23/km |
