All figures GST-inclusive where GST applies; toll and permit are passed through without it. Waiting beyond the free window and parking are separate.
Toll-inclusive
Nothing is asked for on the road. The driver handles every plaza and the receipt is one number. The toll the fare carries is ₹444 for a hatchback, itemised on the quote.
Pay at the booth
A lower fare, and you pay each plaza as it comes, cash or FASTag. Same road, same driver; the toll simply is not in the fare. The Karnataka permit is priced once either way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the toll from Ooty to Bangalore for a car?+
A toll-inclusive Gaadix fare on this route carries ₹444 of toll for a hatchback. It is the amount the fare includes, itemised by the pricing engine, not a survey of plazas.
Is there a Karnataka permit charge from Ooty?+
Yes. Crossing from Tamil Nadu into Karnataka means a state permit, priced once for the trip at ₹500 and shown before you book — never settled at a checkpost.
Toll-inclusive or pay at the booth — which is cheaper?+
They come to the same money if the booth charges what the fare includes. Toll-inclusive means nothing is asked for on the road and the receipt is one number; pay-at-booth means a lower fare and cash or FASTag at each plaza. Both are shown on every quote; you choose.
Is GST charged on the toll?+
No. Toll and permit are passed through; GST applies to the fare, not to them, and the quote itemises each line.
