Fare = billed km × the car’s rate + driver bata. A Sedan on this route is 150 km × ₹15 = ₹2,250, plus ₹400 bata = ₹2,650. An SUV is 150 km × ₹20 = ₹3,000, plus ₹400 = ₹3,400. An Innova Crysta is 150 km × ₹23 = ₹3,450, plus ₹500 = ₹3,950. The estimate in the booking form uses these same sums, so the figure at the drop matches what you were quoted.

About Tenkasi
Tenkasi: the gateway to Courtallam, the “Spa of South India”, beside the Kerala border. What draws visitors is the Courtallam waterfalls and the Kasi Viswanathar temple built by a Pandya king.
After the drop, guests often head to:
Best months: June to September, when the south-west wind brings the falls to life. In June to September the falls can close in spate; check conditions with us before you travel.
The road to Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram leaves Tenkasi toward Kerala, so Kerala-bound drops are common.
We drop at any address in Tenkasi; frequent drop points are Courtallam Road, Tirunelveli Road, Sengottai Road and Madurai Road, and the station or stand at Tenkasi Junction railway station and Tenkasi bus stand.
Pickup in Madurai
We collect you from the door in Madurai. Typical pickups for this trip are Anna Nagar, KK Nagar, Goripalayam, Tallakulam, Thiruppalai and Simmakkal. We also serve Madurai Junction railway station, Mattuthavani bus terminus and Periyar bus stand.
The temple core is jammed by mid-morning, so a pre-8 AM start, or a late-evening run, gets you out of Madurai the fastest. Fix your pickup point on a main road near the temple; the inner lanes are closed to cars during festivals.
