How we reach the Madurai to Munnar fare
Fare = billed km × the car’s rate + driver bata. A Sedan on this route is 160 km × ₹15 = ₹2,400, plus ₹400 bata = ₹2,800. An SUV is 160 km × ₹20 = ₹3,200, plus ₹400 = ₹3,600. An Innova Crysta is 160 km × ₹23 = ₹3,680, plus ₹500 = ₹4,180. The estimate in the booking form uses these same sums, so the figure at the drop matches what you were quoted.

|---|---|
| ✔ Car, fuel and driver | ✖ Toll plazas |
| ✔ Driver bata (once, one way) | ✖ Parking fees |
