Navratri Vaishno Devi — 11–20 Oct, Dussehra 20 Oct — Katra cabs at fixed fares — Book Navratri cab
The cab fare and the toll, added together, plus the three charges that sit on top — named honestly rather than estimated into a round number.
Short answer
A Varanasi to Delhi trip is ₹9,850 all in for a sedan: ₹9,020 cab fare for the 820 km plus ₹830 in toll across 6 plazas as a planning estimate. The fare covers the vehicle, fuel, the driver and GST. Three charges sit on top and are billed at actual: parking, the state entry levy, and the driver night allowance if the trip stays overnight.
Parking, state entry and the driver night allowance are charged at actual and are not in the figure above — we would rather give you a smaller number you can check than a rounder one you cannot. Ask and we will estimate all three for your dates.
These two are exact. The fare is the published rate card applied to 820 km; the toll is the 6 plazas on this corridor, as a planning estimate.
| Vehicle | Per km | Cab fare | Toll | Fare + toll |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan (Swift Dzire or similar) | ₹11 | ₹9,020 | ₹830 | ₹9,850 |
| SUV / Ertiga | ₹15 | ₹12,300 | ₹1,335 | ₹13,635 |
| Innova Crysta | ₹18 | ₹14,760 | ₹1,335 | ₹16,095 |
| Tempo Traveller, 12-seater | ₹23 | ₹18,860 | ₹1,335 | ₹20,195 |
The cab fare includes the vehicle, fuel, the driver and GST. Sedan toll is the car rate; the other three use the SUV rate, which is how the plazas class them. These toll figures are a planning estimate built from the published plaza schedule rather than a notified tariff — confirm the current rate and the vehicle's toll class before travel.
Each of these is real and charged at actual. We name them rather than estimating them into the headline, because a figure you cannot check is worth less than a line you can ask about.
This route runs from Uttar Pradesh into Delhi, so a state entry levy applies. It is set by the state government, collected at or near the border, and charged at actual. Some routes cross an intermediate state as well — ask us for the full count on your itinerary.
A fixed amount per night the driver is away from base, covering his food and bed. On a same-day return it does not apply at all, however late the car gets in. On an overnight trip it applies once. It goes to the driver rather than to us, which is why it is itemised.
Monument, hotel and airport parking, paid where it is charged and billed at actual. It is the smallest of the three on almost every corridor, and the one that varies most with what you actually do at the far end.
On request we will estimate all three for your specific itinerary alongside the fare, so the whole figure is known before you travel. What we will not do is fold them into a per-kilometre rate.
The fuel for 820 km one way, for comparison. Note what it leaves out: the car, the wear, the parking, and the driving.
Self-drive fuel plus toll looks cheaper than a chauffeur-driven fare and it is not the same product. A rental, the deposit, the wear and the hours at the wheel are all on the other side of that comparison.

Tell us the dates and the vehicle and we will put a number on the state entry, the night allowance and the parking alongside the fare, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
