Plan your breaks around these towns; long highway stretches in between have fewer facilities.

How the Salem to Tirupati fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 340 km × ₹15 = ₹5,100, plus ₹400 bata = ₹5,500. In an Innova it is 340 km × ₹21 = ₹7,140, plus ₹500 bata = ₹7,640. The estimate you see in the booking form is the same figure the driver works from, so there is no surprise at the drop.
