Base Fare: Kilometres Or Package Most outstation fares are based on kilometres travelled with a daily minimum. Some routes are quoted as fixed packages, which include a set distance and time. This is the core of how outstation taxi fares are calculated; everything else is added to it. Driver Allowance And Night Halt A driver allowance outstation taxi charge covers the driver's meals and stay on multi-day trips. Night driving or a night halt away from base may add a separate charge. Ask whether allowance is included in the quoted total or billed per day on top. Tolls, Parking And Permits Highway tolls, parking at temples or beaches and state entry permits are usually paid by the customer or added to the bill. Clarify this up front.
