Need the other direction? Kanyakumari to Ariyalur costs the same and is booked from its own page.
Waiting is free for 45 minutes at pickup and ₹2 a minute after that. The price does not move with demand or with the hour. The driver's allowance is already in it, and the only cash that changes hands is the balance you saw when you booked.
493.6 km is a full day. Leaving Ariyalur by six gets you to Kanyakumari by mid-afternoon with two stops; the driver plans a meal halt on the highway rather than in town.
