When you book an outstation taxi, the single biggest factor in your fare is whether you choose a one way drop or a round trip. Understanding the difference helps you save money on every intercity journey.
How one way taxi fares work
A one way taxi charges you only for the distance you travel to your destination. You do not pay for the return leg, which makes it the cheapest option for travellers who are not coming back the same day. PickMe Taxi offers one way cabs across Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and Bangalore at fixed drop prices.
How round trip fares work
A round trip cab stays with you and brings you back to your starting point. You pay for the full distance both ways plus a daily driver allowance. This is the better choice when you have multiple stops, a same day return, or a multi day tour.
When to pick each option
- Choose a one way taxi when you are relocating, dropping at the airport, or staying overnight
- Choose a round trip when you need the cab for local sightseeing at the destination
- Compare both fares before booking, since one way is often half the cost
Extra ways to save
- Travel early in the morning to avoid traffic delays and waiting charges
- Share the ride with family or colleagues heading the same way
- Ask whether tolls, parking and state permits are included up front
