536 km and roughly 9 hours 45 minutes — that's what the Bikaner to Amritsar drive looks like in numbers. Most of the route uses NH54 (the Amritsar–Bathinda highway). Sairgah's sedan fare for the trip starts at ₹9,648; SUVs and Tempo Travellers are listed further down if you need the space.
The Bikaner to Amritsar cab ride covers approximately 536 km and usually takes about 9 hours via NH54 (the Amritsar–Bathinda highway).

Your advance is escrow-protected, the driver is KYC-verified with GPS, and our team monitors the trip end-to-end in english, hindi, and punjabi.
What the route is actually like
Most people break the journey around Jalandhar, Beas, Amritsar — decent dhabas and fuel stops there if you want to stretch. an estimated 4 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 460 total, figure is an estimate and confirmed at booking). All tolls and state taxes are included in your Sairgah upfront fare, so you pay nothing extra to the driver. Amritsar: Gurpurab and long weekends bring heavy pilgrimage traffic near the Golden Temple; book an early-morning pickup to avoid queues.
Car options for the Bikaner–Amritsar run
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹9,648. Step up to an SUV like an Innova or Ertiga if you've got six people or a lot of bags, or a Tempo Traveller (12–17 seats) for bigger groups and wedding or corporate travel. Every vehicle is AC, cleaned before the trip, and driven by a verified, GPS-tracked driver. Closer to Amritsar, we cover Tarn Taran, Jandiala Guru, Nangli as well.
One-way vs round trip on this route
Two ways to book: a one-way drop, where you're not charged for the driver's return if they can pick up another fare back; or a round trip, where the driver waits and brings you home. One-way usually costs less if you're flying or training back. Round trip makes sense if you want the car with you at Amritsar for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
What the fare actually includes
The number you see when you book is the number you pay at the end. That covers fuel, toll tax, state entry tax, the driver's meals, GST and parking — built up from the 536 km distance at the vehicle's per-km rate plus the driver's daily allowance. There's no "toll extra, sir" at the end of the trip. Short routes may carry a minimum-km floor.
