Heading from Sahnewal to Amritsar? The distance is about 181.9 km and you're looking at around 3 hours 18 minutes in the car. The road follows NH54 (the Amritsar–Bathinda highway) for the bulk of the journey. Sedan pricing starts at ₹4,505, and there are larger options for families.
The Sahnewal to Amritsar cab ride covers approximately 182 km and usually takes about 3 hours via NH54 (the Amritsar–Bathinda highway). The fare is fixed when you book, no surge pricing. Your 25% advance is held in escrow and released to the driver only after pickup, every driver is KYC-verified with GPS, and support is available in english, hindi, and punjabi.
What the route is actually like
Handy halt points on the way: Jalandhar, Beas, Amritsar. an estimated 1 toll plaza (roughly Rs. 150 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. Amritsar: Gurpurab and long weekends bring heavy pilgrimage traffic near the Golden Temple; book an early-morning pickup to avoid queues.
Car options for the Sahnewal–Amritsar run
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹4,505. 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 Ludhiana, Maler Kotla, Khanna if that's closer to you.
One-way vs round trip on this route
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 Amritsar for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
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 181.9 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.
