Driving from Chandigarh to Amritsar? It's roughly a 268 km run, about 3 hours 54 minutes behind the wheel depending on stops and the time you leave.

The Chandigarh to Amritsar cab ride covers approximately 268 km and usually takes about 3 hours via NH54 (the Amritsar–Bathinda highway). The fare is fixed when you book, no surge pricing. Your 25% advance is held in escrow and released to the driver only after pickup, every driver is KYC-verified with GPS, and support is available in english, hindi, and punjabi.
Route notes, tolls and stops
You'll pass through Phillaur, Jalandhar; good spots to pause for food or fuel. an estimated 2 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 230 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.
Sedan, SUV or Tempo Traveller?
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹2,799. 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. Pickup is available from surrounding areas too — Panchkula, Mohali, Zerakpur and the like.
How the fare is built
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 268 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.
One-way drop or round trip?
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.
