What is included — the drive, the driver, fuel, tolls on this route and 5% GST. The car returns to Nedumbassery empty and you are charged for part of that run, not all of it.
Night running — driving between 10pm and 6am adds ₹315 once, shown as its own line. An airport pickup at 2am counts.
Flight delays — give us the flight number and we track it. The driver waits and the fare does not change.
Stops on the way — the ones named below cost nothing extra. Tell the driver at the start so he paces the drive.
Worth knowing
What we tell people booking Coorg
The route runs via Thrissur, Kozhikode, Mananthavady, Kutta, Virajpet. These are the things that actually change how the day goes.
-
The route runs through Wayanad, so Coorg and Wayanad combine naturally. Doing both on one booking is much cheaper than two trips.
-
The Kutta and Nagarhole forest stretch has a night traffic ban. We plan the day so we are through before dusk.
-
Coorg is spread across Madikeri, Virajpet and a lot of estate homestays on unmarked roads. Without the property name and a phone number, expect to lose half an hour.
-
The Karnataka permit is in the price. Nothing is collected at the checkpost.
