241 km separates Manali from Sirhind, and you're looking at roughly 4 hours of road time on NH3 (towards the hills). The highway is busy with truck traffic, so our drivers plan meal halts at the cleaner dhabas. Sairgah holds your advance in escrow and pays the driver only after pickup, so the booking is safe even from abroad. Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller, all AC, depending on how many of you are travelling.
Route notes, tolls and stops
You'll pass through Chandigarh, Mandi, Kullu; good spots to pause for food or fuel. 2 toll plazas (around Rs. 210 total). 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.
Which car to book for Manali to Sirhind
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹3,961. 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. Closer to Sirhind, we cover Khanna, Gobindgarh, Morinda as well.
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 241.4 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 Sirhind 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.
