How outstation fares actually work
Outstation hire is charged per kilometre against a minimum of 300 kilometres per day. That minimum is the part people most often miss: a two-day trip carries a 600 kilometre minimum whether you drive that far or not, and a short overnight run is therefore priced on the minimum rather than the odometer.
Distance is counted from your pickup point to the destination and back to the garage, which is the standard basis for outstation work in Karnataka. We show you the figure before you commit, so there is no discussion at the end of the trip about what the number should have been.
On top of the per-kilometre rate sit three things: the driver allowance, which is 300 rupees a day for cars and 500 for the Tempo Traveller and mini bus; night charges for running after 10pm; and toll, parking and state permit, all at actuals. We pass those through at cost rather than estimating them into a rounder number.
