Frequently asked questions
Is a one-day Ahmedabad-Mount Abu-Ahmedabad trip feasible?
Physically yes but we don't recommend it. The ghat climb and descent with only 2 hours on top is exhausting. Overnight stay is far better — Mount Abu's evenings at Sunset Point are the experience.
What are the must-visit spots?
Dilwara Jain temples (extraordinary 11th–13th century marble carving — open to non-Jains 12:00–18:00), Nakki Lake boating, Guru Shikhar viewpoint (Rajasthan's highest point), and Sunset Point in the evening.
When is the best time?
October to March for cool weather. April-May gets busy with summer-break crowds. Monsoon (July-September) is beautiful but the ghat is slow in heavy rain.
How is the outstation fare calculated?
Outstation trips are billed per kilometer with a minimum of 300 KMs per calendar day. The per-km rate depends on your vehicle type and city of pickup. Driver allowance is charged per day. Toll, parking, interstate taxes, and GST at 5% are added at actuals. Contact us for an exact quote for your dates.
Is this a one-way or round-trip rate?
All outstation bookings are round-trip — billed garage to garage. Even for a one-side drop, return kilometers are included. We do offer one-way drop service from select cities at different rates — ask us for availability.
What is included in the fare?
The base fare covers vehicle hire (per-km rate × total kilometers) and driver allowance. Toll charges, parking fees, interstate permit taxes, and GST at 5% are charged at actuals and itemized on your invoice.
How are days counted?
Calendar days — Day 1 starts when the vehicle departs from our garage. Each calendar day carries a minimum of 300 KMs. For example, a 3-day trip has a minimum billing of 900 KMs regardless of actual distance covered.
What is driver allowance and night halt?
Driver allowance is a daily charge covering the driver's meals and incidentals during outstation duty. Night halt is an additional charge when the vehicle is retained overnight. Both vary by city — contact us for specifics.
What vehicles are available for outstation?
We offer sedans (Swift Dzire, Toyota Etios), SUVs (Innova, Ertiga), premium sedans (Honda City, Ciaz), tempo travellers, and buses. Availability varies by city.
