Planning a cab from Indore to Bhopal? Count on close to 212.6 km and around 3 hours 52 minutes on the road. The drive runs largely along NH48 or NH4 (the western network). A sedan starts at ₹5,954, with bigger vehicles available for groups.
The Indore to Bhopal cab ride covers approximately 213 km and usually takes about 3 hours via NH48 or NH4 (the western network). 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 marathi.
The drive: roads, tolls and where to stop
an estimated 2 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 180 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. Coastal and ghat stretches can be slippery in the monsoon (July to September); drivers plan accordingly.
Choosing your vehicle
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹5,954. 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 Pithampur, Mhow, Bangarda Chhota if that's closer to you.
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 Bhopal 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 212.6 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.
