Outstation round trips, by how far the place is from your city: ₹1,300–1,400 a day up to 150 km away, ₹1,450–1,550 up to 300 km, ₹1,550–1,650 farther. One-way drops: ₹1,550–1,650 for each 12 hours of driving, and ₹120 for each hour beyond (more than 7 hours beyond = a full day); a shorter drive: ₹600 for up to 3 hours of driving, then ₹120 an hour; more than 6 hours = a local full day (₹1,000–1,200). After a one-way drop, the driver's way home — from the drop until he is home, waiting for his train included — is ₹120 an hour — more than 6 hours in a day counts as a full day (₹1,200). Round trips are charged by the days of the trip, at the day price for the distance. Pick your destination on the booking form for an estimate — or see one-way drop prices by route. We confirm the total on the call, before the driver leaves.

A monthly driver is ₹16,000–17,000 a month on the Basic plan or ₹20,000 on Premium; wedding drivers are quoted on the call. These are the driver’s charges only — you provide the car and fuel. For weddings and events we can also bring the car, with our driver, quoted together.
What is the difference between Local and Outstation?
Local Full Day (₹1,000–1,200) covers eight hours of driving inside city limits. Outstation (₹1,300–1,400 a day up to 150 km away, ₹1,450–1,550 up to 300 km, ₹1,550–1,650 farther — up to 12 hours of driving a day) is for journeys beyond the city, on highways, and can include an overnight halt. Pick your destination on the booking form to see the estimate for the whole trip, or call us on 9111473929.
What if I need to extend my booking?
Just tell the driver, or call us. Extensions are charged per hour at the same rate, and the driver stays until the job is finished. There is no penalty for extending.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Cash, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) and bank transfer. Rates are fixed at the time of booking, with no surge pricing and no hidden charges.
