The Patiala–Delhi trip is about 259.8 km of road, give or take, and most travellers budget around 4 hours 43 minutes for the drive. You'll be on NH44 (Ludhiana-Ambala-Delhi) via Ambala, Karnal and Panipat for most of it. Sedan fares begin at ₹3,996; step up to an SUV or Tempo Traveller if you've got more people or luggage.
Book a cab from Patiala — serving Nabha, Sanaur, Rurki and Lahauran Bara — to Delhi. Transparent toll-inclusive fares, AC sedans and SUVs, door-to-door pickup, and verified KYC drivers with GPS tracking.
The drive: roads, tolls and where to stop
Most people break the journey around Ambala, Karnal, Delhi — decent dhabas and fuel stops there if you want to stretch. NH44 corridor tolls via Ambala and Panipat; budget ₹200-₹400 one way for a sedan depending on entry point. Delhi: Summer (Apr–Jun) temperatures exceed 40°C — start early morning. Winter (Dec–Jan) dense fog slows highway traffic, especially on NH44.
Choosing your vehicle
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹3,996. 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 Nabha, Sanaur, Rurki if that's closer to you.
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 259.8 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 Delhi for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
Every driver on the Patiala–Delhi route knows the corridor — we don't send a city cabbie out on an unfamiliar highway for their first time. Free cancellation up to four hours before pickup, GPS tracking on every vehicle, and a real person on the phone if anything comes up. Book online or message us on WhatsApp for a custom quote.
