About the Kothamangalam to Madurai Route
232.9 km is a half-day on the road. Most riders leave Kothamangalam early, stop once for a meal, and reach Madurai in the early afternoon; a late-evening start is fine too, because a one-way fare here has no night charge.
The Hatchback is the entry fare at ₹3,179; a Sedan is ₹245 more, and the SUV Innova (7+1) for 7 passengers is ₹4,891. Every fare is for the whole 232.9 km; distance beyond the route you booked is ₹10.7 per km, collected at the drop.
Madurai is in Tamil Nadu and Kothamangalam in Kerala, which means an interstate permit at the border. Toll and the Tamil Nadu state permit are paid on the road and shown separately before you book.
The drive back, Madurai to Kothamangalam, is priced the same and has its own page.
Waiting is free for 45 minutes at pickup and ₹2 a minute after that. There is no surge and no night charge on a one-way trip; the driver's allowance is inside the fare and nothing is collected in cash beyond the balance shown at booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Kothamangalam to Madurai 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 Kothamangalam to Madurai drive take?+
The 232.9 km journey typically takes about 4.5 hrs by cab, depending on traffic and the stops you choose to make.
Can I book a one-way cab from Kothamangalam to Madurai?+
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 Kothamangalam to Madurai?+
The same thing as a one-way cab: the car takes you from Kothamangalam to Madurai 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 232.9 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 Tamil Nadu
Leaving Kerala for Tamil Nadu 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 Tamil Nadu, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
THE DRIVE BACK
Madurai to Kothamangalam cab — from ₹3,179
Same road, priced on its own. A one-way each way is often cheaper than holding the car for days.
