About the Karaikudi to Hosapete Route
Four cars are priced on this route, from ₹4,921 for a Hatchback to ₹7,570 for a SUV Innova (7+1). The gap between the Hatchback and a Sedan is ₹378 on 360.5 km, about ₹105 per 100 km. Anything beyond the booked route is ₹10.7 per km.
Hosapete is in Karnataka and Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu, which means an interstate permit at the border. Toll and the Karnataka state permit are paid on the road and shown separately before you book.
The drive back, Hosapete to Karaikudi, is priced the same and has 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.
360.5 km is a full day. Leaving Karaikudi by six gets you to Hosapete by mid-afternoon with two stops; the driver plans a meal halt on the highway rather than in town.

- No return fare on a one-way trip
- 45 minutes of free waiting at pickup

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Karaikudi to Hosapete 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 Karaikudi to Hosapete drive take?+
The 360.5 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 Karaikudi to Hosapete?+
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 Karaikudi to Hosapete?+
The same thing as a one-way cab: the car takes you from Karaikudi to Hosapete 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 360.5 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
This route crosses into Karnataka
Leaving Tamil Nadu for Karnataka means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Karnataka, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
THE DRIVE BACK
Hosapete to Karaikudi cab — from ₹4,921
Same road, priced on its own. A one-way each way is often cheaper than holding the car for days.
