Lucknow
Taxi Fare

₹11 per km for an AC sedan, ₹15 for an SUV and ₹23 for a tempo traveller. There is a ₹300 minimum, which is what a short hop inside Lucknow actually costs. The rate is our published one rather than a local one; what changes between cities is the distances, and Lucknow's are below.

Hazratganj to Bara Imambara, 5 km, ₹300, Lucknow Station to Gomti Nagar, 10 km, ₹320, Amausi Airport to Hazratganj, 16 km, ₹380 and Aminabad to Ambedkar Park, 8 km, ₹300. 8 of the most-asked Lucknow journeys are priced on this page. Fares for the journey, not a meter estimate.

There is a ₹300 minimum, and 3 of the Lucknow journeys on this page sit at it — Hazratganj to Bara Imambara at 5 km, Aminabad to Ambedkar Park at 8 km and Charbagh to Lucknow Zoo at 6 km. A 5 km hop and a slightly longer one therefore cost the same, because below a certain distance the cost is the car and the driver being committed to you rather than the kilometres covered.

From ₹300 for Hazratganj to Bara Imambara (5 km), up to ₹380 for Amausi Airport to Hazratganj (16 km). Everything on this page is a city or near-city trip; longer journeys are priced from the per-km rate.

Amausi Airport to Hazratganj is 16 km at ₹380. An airport pickup carries ₹100 pickup fee, which covers the parking and the entry charge at the terminal. The waiting clock on an arrival starts when your flight actually lands rather than when it was scheduled to, so a tracked delay is not a surcharge.

Lucknow Station to Gomti Nagar is 10 km at ₹320. Share your train number when you book and the driver tracks it, so an arrival that runs late does not cost you the booking.

A night surcharge of 25% after 11 PM, and 10% on public holidays. Those are the only two time-based additions, and they are stated before you book.

On the per-km rate, ₹11/km against ₹13-17/km for an app cab in Lucknow — about 25% less. An app rate also moves with demand and ours does not, so the gap is widest when you most need a car.
