Outstation cab pricing confuses a lot of first-time bookers — the “minimum km”, “driver batta”, and “tolls extra” lines especially. Here’s exactly how it works so your final bill matches the quote. Book: outstation cabs from Hubli.
Outstation trips bill a minimum of 300 km per day, even if you drive less. So a 150-km-each-way day trip still bills 300 km — the driver’s day is committed to you.
Beyond the minimum, you pay the vehicle’s per-km rate for actual km driven — Sedan ₹12/km, Ertiga ₹16, Innova Crysta ₹20. See the rate card.
A fixed daily allowance (₹300–600 by vehicle) covering the driver’s food and overnight stay. It’s on the rate card — not a surprise added later.
Charged at actuals with receipts, added to the final bill. The per-km rate itself never changes mid-trip.
Round trips bill the daily minimum per day. One-way drops are quoted separately (driver-return logistics) — sometimes cheaper if you’re staying at the destination.
This is why a “short” outstation day still costs a few thousand rupees — the 300 km/day minimum. Work out any trip on the rate estimator, or see outstation cabs for routes and rates.
