Route notes, tolls and stops
Handy halt points on the way: Chandigarh, Solan, Kufri. Whatever tolls apply on the highway are included in the price you see — no add-ons at the end. Shimla: Expect snow on Kufri-Shimla stretch Dec-Feb. Monsoon (Jul-Sep) can cause landslides, allow buffer time.
Which car to book for Panchkula to Shimla
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹1,447. 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 — Chandigarh, Mohali, Zerakpur and the like.
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 Shimla for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
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 68.1 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.
