One Way Taxi or Round Trip: Which Is Cheaper From Chennai?

12 Nov 2026

Many travellers are not sure whether to book a one way drop taxi or a round trip cab. The right choice depends on when you plan to return.

Choose a one way drop taxi when

  • You are staying at the destination for a few days or longer.
  • You are relocating, joining college or flying out from another city.
  • Someone else is bringing you back.

You pay only for the km from pickup to drop (minimum 130 km) plus driver bata. Example: Chennai to Trichy, 330 km in a sedan, is about Rs 5,350.

Choose a round trip when

  • You return the same day or within a day or two.
  • You want to visit several places with the same car, like a temple tour.

Round trips are billed at a lower per km rate on the total distance, with a minimum of 250 km per day in Tamil Nadu, plus driver bata per day.
