Heading from Thiruvananthapuram to Vijayawada? The distance is about 1218.3 km and you're looking at around 22 hours 9 minutes in the car. The road follows NH66 (the Malabar coastal highway) for the bulk of the journey. Sedan pricing starts at ₹14,620, and there are larger options for families.
From Thiruvananthapuram to Vijayawada, expect a 1218 km drive and close to 22 hours on NH66 (the Malabar coastal highway). Toll plazas here are mostly FASTag-only, and your driver's tag is always active. Fares are fixed upfront with no hidden charges at drop, and every driver is KYC-verified with GPS on the car. Choose between a 4-seater Sedan, a 6-7 seater SUV, or a 12-17 seater Tempo for groups.
Road conditions and what you'll pay at toll plazas
9 toll plazas (around Rs. 1040 total). All tolls and state taxes are included in your Sairgah upfront fare, so you pay nothing extra to the driver. Summer (April to June) afternoons are hot on open highways; early morning departures are recommended.
Sedan, SUV or Tempo Traveller?
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹14,620. 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 — Neyyattinkara, Nedumangad, Pallichal 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 Vijayawada 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 1218.3 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.
