Planning a cab from Dharamshala to Rayya? Count on close to 174.6 km and around 3 hours 10 minutes on the road. The drive runs largely along NH3 (towards the hills). A sedan starts at ₹3,927, with bigger vehicles available for groups.
The Dharamshala to Rayya cab ride covers approximately 175 km and usually takes about 3 hours via NH3 (towards the hills). 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.
What the route is actually like
an estimated 1 toll plaza (roughly Rs. 150 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.
Car options for the Dharamshala–Rayya run
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹3,927. 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. We also pick up door-to-door from nearby places like Dharamsala, Yol Cantonment, Yol if that's closer to you.
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 Rayya for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
Pricing — no surprises at drop
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 174.6 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.
Every driver on the Dharamshala–Rayya route knows the corridor — we don't send a city cabbie out on an unfamiliar highway for their first time. Free cancellation up to four hours before pickup, GPS tracking on every vehicle, and a real person on the phone if anything comes up. Book online or message us on WhatsApp for a custom quote.
