About the Chennai to Yercaud Route
Chennai to Yercaud is a 347 km run of roughly 7 hrs. Leave by eight and you arrive for a late lunch; the driver picks the halt on the highway, not in a town.
₹4,737 buys a Hatchback for the full 347 km; ₹5,101 a Sedan, and ₹7,287 the SUV Innova (7+1) with room for 7. The fare is for the route, not a meter: extra distance you add on the day is ₹10.7 per km, settled at the drop.
Both ends are in Tamil Nadu, so there is no permit to buy and no border to clear. Toll on this road is ₹520; the toll-inclusive fare shows both before you pay.
Coming back, Yercaud to Chennai starts at ₹5,012: the difference is the permit, which is charged by the state you enter.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Chennai to Yercaud cab cost?+
Fares depend on the vehicle you choose — hatchback, sedan or SUV. Enter your pickup and drop to see the exact live fare, with tolls, state taxes and GST itemised before you confirm the booking. True one-way pricing: you only pay for the distance you travel.
How long does the Chennai to Yercaud drive take?+
The 347 km journey typically takes about 7 hrs by cab, depending on traffic and the stops you choose to make.
Can I book a one-way cab from Chennai to Yercaud?+
Yes. Gaadix offers true one-way fares on this route, so you only pay for the distance you travel — no return charges. Round trips with driver waiting time are also available.
What is a drop taxi from Chennai to Yercaud?+
The same thing as a one-way cab: the car takes you from Chennai to Yercaud and you pay for that direction only, never for the driver's return. On Gaadix every one-way fare is a drop-taxi fare — the 347 km you book are the kilometres you pay for.
Is advance payment required?+
You confirm the booking by paying an advance of 20% and settle the balance with the driver after the trip. Cancellation is free at any time before a driver accepts, and free up to 24 hours before pickup once one has. Between 24 and 12 hours a cancellation fee of 20% of the fare applies, capped at ₹100, and the rest of your advance is refunded. Inside 12 hours of pickup the advance is not refunded. The exact amount is always shown before you confirm the cancellation.
Worth knowing about this route
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 347 km each way, so 694 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
THE DRIVE BACK
Yercaud to Chennai cab — from ₹5,012
Same road, priced on its own. A one-way each way is often cheaper than holding the car for days.
