Per KM vs Fixed Fare - Which Saves Money?
Per km rate is good for city sightseeing (8 hrs / 80 km). For airport, fixed fare is always cheaper because per km would charge return fuel too. Example: Airport to Sam 45 km x ₹22 = ₹990 but car returns empty 45 km = ₹1980. We charge flat ₹2200 inclusive, so you save toll trick. Always ask for fixed airport rate, not meter.

Why Airport Counters Charge More?
At JSA, only 4-5 private taxis have inner parking pass. Others park 800m outside and pay auto ₹100 to bring you. Plus they pay 30% commission to airport staff. That's why they quote ₹1500 for city. Pre-booking direct with local operator like us skips middleman. Driver gets full fare, you get clean car.
Cheap Taxi Tips - Save ₹500 at Airport
- Book 1 day before, not last minute — last minute cars come from city, add dead km.
- Share flight number — we club nearby arrivals, give discount ₹200.
- Take Sedan if luggage < 2 bags, Ertiga only if 4+ pax.
- For Sam Dunes, book same car for next day city tour — combo discount ₹500 off.
- Avoid 5-7 PM arrival — Hanuman Circle jam adds 20 min, fuel waste.
