Innova Outstation Fare Explained: Per-Km Rate, Toll, State Tax and Night Charges
No surprises at the end of the trip. Here's exactly what goes into an Innova outstation fare, and how to estimate yours.
The most common question we get is "What will my trip actually cost?" An outstation fare has a few parts. Once you know them, it's easy to estimate your trip and compare quotes fairly.
1. The Base Fare
There are two ways the base fare is worked out:
Per-Kilometre (Round Trips and Custom Plans)
- Innova Crysta: ₹20 per km
- Innova Hycross: ₹22 per km
This rate includes the driver, fuel and AC. It's used for round trips, multi-day tours and any plan where the car stays with you.
Fixed One-Way Fares (Popular Routes)
For popular one-way routes we have fixed Innova Crysta fares, for example:
| Route (one way) | Approx distance | Innova Crysta |
|---|---|---|

| Delhi → Haridwar | ~230 km | ₹6,500 |
| Delhi → Chandigarh | ~250 km | ₹6,500 |

| Delhi → Shimla | ~350 km | ₹8,500 |
| Delhi → Manali | ~540 km | ₹13,000 |
See the full list on our outstation cab page.
2. Charges Paid at Actuals
These depend on your route and are passed on at cost:
- Toll: highway and expressway tolls on your route, as per receipts.
- Parking: at monuments, hotels, airports and so on.
- State entry tax: most states charge an entry tax or permit fee for tourist vehicles crossing their border (for example, entering Himachal Pradesh or Uttarakhand). The amount varies by state.
- Driver night charge: ₹400 for each night of the trip. This covers the driver's overnight allowance, and the driver arranges their own stay.
3. A Worked Example
Say you plan a 2-day round trip from Delhi to Jaipur in an Innova Crysta, with some sightseeing in Jaipur:
| Item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | ~280 km each way + ~40 km local sightseeing | ~600 km |
| Kilometre charge | 600 km × ₹20 | ₹12,000 |
| Driver night charge | 1 night × ₹400 | ₹400 |
| Toll, parking, state tax | At actuals | As per route |
This example is for illustration only. Your final quote depends on your exact route, dates and plan, and may include a minimum daily distance for multi-day trips. We always confirm it upfront.
4. Five Ways to Keep Your Fare Down
- Go one way where you can. If you don't need the car at your destination, a fixed one-way fare is usually cheapest.
- Share your full plan upfront. Including sightseeing stops in the quote avoids surprise extra kilometres.
- Pick the right car. The Crysta is ₹2/km less than the Hycross. Read our Crysta vs Hycross guide.
- Start early. Early starts can sometimes avoid an extra night, saving the ₹400 night charge.
- Ask for the full breakup. A clear quote lets you compare fairly. We send ours on WhatsApp before you book.
