Good to know

  • Crossing a state border adds a permit or entry tax for commercial vehicles. Operators with an all-India permit include it; ask for it on the quote.
  • On long days, drivers need rest. Operators usually plan one driver per 300–350 km a day; ask for two drivers for longer stretches.
  • Quotes usually include fuel, driver, and his food and stay. Tolls, parking and state taxes are listed separately. Yippigo shows each quote line by line.
