Which car to book for Patti to Dharamshala
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹3,897. 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 — Tarn Taran, Bhikkiwind Uttar, Mullanwala and the like.
Road conditions and what you'll pay at toll plazas
Handy halt points on the way: Amritsar, Jalandhar. an estimated 2 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 250 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. Dharamshala: Monsoon months (Jul-Sep) bring heavy rain in the hills. Winter nights are cold Dec-Jan.
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 295 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 Dharamshala for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
