If you plan to return, choose Round Trip in the booking form. You pay for the distance there and back (roughly 260 km) and bata for every day the car stays with you.
| Plan (Sedan) | Billed km | Estimated fare |
|---|---|---|
| One way Chennai → Vellore | 130 | ₹2,350 |

| Two separate one way drops | 260 | ₹4,700 |
Sedan estimates. A round trip suits you when the car waits at Vellore with you; if you stay longer and return on your own schedule, a second one way drop is usually the better fit.
How the Chennai to Vellore fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 130 km × ₹15 = ₹1,950, plus ₹400 bata = ₹2,350. In an Innova it is 130 km × ₹21 = ₹2,730, plus ₹500 bata = ₹3,230. Extra stops or detours use the same per-km rate, and nothing is added for the driver’s return journey on a one way drop.
