The Ludhiana to Jammu cab ride covers approximately 280 km and usually takes about 5 hours via NH44 (the Jammu-Srinagar highway). The fare is locked at checkout, no surge, even in peak hill season. Your 25% advance sits in escrow until pickup. Our mountain-route drivers carry 4WD options in winter and monitor pass conditions; support is available in english, hindi, and punjabi.
Sedan, SUV or Tempo Traveller?
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹3,359. 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 — Ahmedgarh, Gil, Doraha and the like.
Route notes, tolls and stops
The last stretch gets hilly, with winding roads as you climb towards Jammu — nothing technical, just worth knowing if anyone in the car is prone to travel sickness. Handy halt points on the way: Pathankot, Jammu, Katra. an estimated 2 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 240 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. Monsoon (July to September) can bring landslides on the hill section; Sairgah drivers monitor road status and carry buffer time. Winter (December to February) may require chains or 4WD on high passes.
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 279.9 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.
Should you book one-way or round?
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 Jammu for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
What you get: drivers who've actually done this route before, live GPS tracking, free cancellation up to four hours out, and a fare that doesn't change between booking and drop. Book here or ping us on WhatsApp.
