Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a cab to Velankanni cost from Chennai?+
₹10,789 for a hatchback for 3 days, and ₹19,058 for the largest car — the whole round trip, driver allowance for every day and GST inside. Toll and parking are paid as they come.
Why is it priced as a round trip?+
Because the car waits for you. A one-way each way leaves you finding a car in a temple town at its busiest hour; the round trip keeps the same driver and the same car for the whole journey.
What if we take longer than the days booked?+
Tell the driver, and the extra day is added at the same per-day rate with its allowance. There is no penalty for an extra day; there is a bill for it.
