One-Way Drop Taxi That Charges Only for the Distance You Travel

Most outstation taxis charge for a round trip even when you only need to travel one way, meaning you pay for kilometres the driver covers returning empty. HJ Cabs' one-way drop service fixes this: you're billed only for the distance from your pickup to your destination, subject to a 130 km minimum plus driver bata.

This makes one-way drops significantly cheaper than booking a round trip for a single-direction journey, ideal for one-way business travel, dropping family at another city, or relocating between college and home.

Need to cross a state border? HJ Cabs arranges interstate permits in advance for trips into Karnataka (Bengaluru, Mysore), Kerala (Kochi, Munnar), Andhra Pradesh (Tirupati, Vijayawada), and Telangana (Hyderabad), with the permit fee shown transparently in your fare and nothing extra to pay at the checkpost.

Choose a Sedan (₹15/km) for solo or couple travel, an SUV (₹20/km, 6 seats) for families with luggage, or an Innova Crysta (₹23/km, 7 seats) for larger groups. Book via WhatsApp at +91-9042657398 and get instant confirmation, with no advance payment required.

One-way drop fares are calculated simply:

Fare = (Distance × Per-km Rate) + Driver Bata + Interstate Permit (if applicable)

• Minimum billing distance: 130 km, so even if your actual trip is shorter, the fare is calculated as if it were 130 km
• Per-km rate: Sedan ₹15/km, SUV ₹20/km, Innova Crysta ₹23/km
• Driver bata: ₹500 (Sedan) / ₹600 (SUV) / ₹600 (Innova Crysta), covering the driver's return travel and meals
• Interstate permit: Added only when crossing into Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, or Telangana, arranged in advance and included in your quoted fare

For example, a 130 km one-way drop within Tamil Nadu costs ₹2,450 for a Sedan. This is the minimum fare for any one-way booking, regardless of how short the actual distance is. Tolls and parking are charged at actuals with receipts, with no markup.

Sample Sedan fares for popular one-way routes, billed at actual distance or the 130 km minimum, whichever is higher, plus driver bata and any applicable interstate permit:
