Outstation Round Trip Taxi with the Same Driver for Onward & Return

Booking two separate one-way taxis for an outstation day trip means coordinating two different drivers, two different vehicles, and often a longer wait for the return cab to arrive. HJ Cabs' outstation round trip service solves this with a single driver and vehicle for your entire journey, taking you to your destination, waiting while you're there, and bringing you back.

Round trip fare is calculated on twice the one-way distance, subject to a 250 km minimum, plus driver bata. The driver waits at your destination for up to 4 hours at no extra charge, ideal for temple visits, short meetings, or sightseeing stops. Beyond 4 hours, a modest waiting charge applies.

Heading to a hill station like Ooty or Kodaikanal? A hill-station surcharge is included transparently in your fare. Travelling to Tirupati or another interstate destination? The relevant permit fee is shown upfront, with nothing extra to pay en route.

Choose a Sedan (₹14/km round trip) for solo or couple travel, an SUV (₹19/km, 6 seats) for families with luggage, or an Innova Crysta (₹22/km, 7 seats) for larger groups. Book via WhatsApp at +91-9042657398 and get instant confirmation, with no advance payment required.

Round trip fares are calculated simply:

Fare = (One-Way Distance × 2 × Per-km Rate) + Driver Bata + Hill Station Surcharge / Interstate Permit (if applicable)

• Minimum billing distance: 250 km round trip (one-way distance × 2), even if your actual round trip is shorter, as the fare is calculated as if it were 250 km
• Per-km rate: Sedan ₹14/km, SUV ₹19/km, Innova Crysta ₹22/km, with round trip rates slightly lower than one-way rates
• Driver bata: ₹500 (Sedan) / ₹600 (SUV) / ₹600 (Innova Crysta) per day, covering the driver's meals and stay
• Hill station surcharge: ₹500 for destinations like Ooty, Kodaikanal, Yercaud, Coonoor, and Munnar
• Interstate permit: Added only for routes crossing into another state, such as Chennai to Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh)
• Waiting time: First 4 hours at your destination are free; beyond that, a waiting charge of ₹200/hour applies
• Multi-day trips: An additional day's driver bata is added for each extra day the vehicle is retained

For example, a same-day round trip with a total one-way distance of 125 km or less (250 km round trip) costs ₹4,000 for a Sedan, the minimum fare for any round trip booking, regardless of how short the actual distance is. Tolls and parking are charged at actuals with receipts, with no markup.
