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 Thrissur
The route runs via Angamaly, Chalakudy, NH 544. These are the things that actually change how the day goes.
-
During Thrissur Pooram the roads into town close from the afternoon. We drop at the outer ring and you walk in; there is no way around it and anyone promising otherwise has not tried.
-
Vadakkumnathan temple sits in the middle of the round. Parking near it is impossible on festival days and easy otherwise.
-
Athirappilly is forty minutes from Thrissur. If you are here for a day, the two combine well.
-
For a Guruvayur and Thrissur pairing in one day, start at Guruvayur before dawn and come back through Thrissur. The reverse wastes the good hours.
