The Ludhiana to Jammu cab ride covers approximately 280 km and usually takes about 4 hours via NH44 (the Jammu-Srinagar highway). The fare is fixed when you book, no surge pricing.

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.
Road conditions and what you'll pay at toll plazas
You'll pass through Pathankot, Jammu, Katra; good spots to pause for food or fuel. 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. Jammu: Vaishno Devi Yatra season (Aug-Oct) and holidays bring heavy traffic on the Pathankot-Jammu NH44; expect delays at Lakhanpur.
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 280 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 Jammu for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
