The drive: roads, tolls and where to stop
an estimated 10 toll plazas (roughly Rs. 1090 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. Summer (April to June) afternoons are hot on open highways; early morning departures are recommended.
Choosing your vehicle
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹15,352. 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 Rasapudipalem, Gajuwaka, Anakapalle if that's closer to you.
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 1279.3 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.
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 Madurai for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
Every driver on the Visakhapatnam–Madurai 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.
