What to know
Why short trips cost a full day
Operators bill at least 250 km for every day the van is with you, because it cannot take another booking that day. A 100 km outing is billed as 250 km.
Where the range comes from
Newer vans, pushback seats and well-known operators sit at the top of the band; older vans at the bottom. Ask for the model year on the quote.
Tolls and parking
Tolls and parking are not in these figures: they are paid at actual cost and listed on the quote. Trips into another state also add that state's entry tax or permit fee.
Season
Diwali, Navratri, the wedding season and summer vacation fill vans early, and quotes in those weeks can run above these figures.
