How our fares work — toll, the night charge, round trips, stops and cancelling.
Round trips are billed at a minimum of 250 km a day, and this route bills 1614 km. That floor is what lets a driver take a long return leg without pricing it as two separate journeys.
Picking up in Kota
A good share of trips out of Kota start from the coaching districts, where students and visiting families stay. Give the hostel or building name with the area — the coaching neighbourhoods are dense and the names repeat.
The driver comes to the address you give, anywhere in Kota — Talwandi, Rajeev Gandhi Nagar, Landmark City, Kunhadi, Mahaveer Nagar and Vigyan Nagar included — and the fare to Chandigarh is the same from all of them. Name the area and a landmark when you book; for a station or airport pickup, add the train or flight number.

Arriving in Chandigarh
Chandigarh is built on a grid of numbered sectors, which makes being driven around it unusually simple — but the sector number is the address, and Panchkula and Mohali on either side are separate towns in separate states. It is the usual last stop on the plains before the hills: Shimla, Manali and Dharamshala all begin from here. The Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake are both at the north end of the city, beside the Capitol Complex that Le Corbusier designed.
Drops in Chandigarh are made to the address you give — Sector 17, Sector 22, Sector 35, Sector 43, Manimajra and Panchkula among them, and to Chandigarh railway station, ISBT Sector 17, ISBT Sector 43 and Chandigarh International Airport for an onward train, bus or flight.
The drive is 807 km from Kota, and the driver takes you to the address you give rather than to a stand.
Kota to Chandigarh, in context
Of the 9 routes we price out of Kota, this is the longest at 807 km. Chandigarh is in Chandigarh, and we also price 8 routes into Chandigarh from elsewhere — useful if you are coming back a different way.
Once you are in Chandigarh
Keep the car
If you need a car in Chandigarh itself rather than another intercity run, it is hired by the hour — 8 hours and 80 km from ₹2,500, with the driver. Useful for a day of errands, a wedding, or seeing the place without working out a route.

Kota to Chandigarh, answered
How much does a taxi from Kota to Chandigarh cost?
A Kota to Chandigarh taxi starts at ₹9,360 one way in a hatchback, for the full 807 km, with the driver and fuel in it, plus 5% GST.
What is the fare for a sedan or an SUV from Kota to Chandigarh?
A Dzire is ₹10,460 one way and an Innova Crysta is ₹14,460. The difference is ₹4,000 for the journey.
What is the per-kilometre rate from Kota to Chandigarh?
The lowest one-way fare works out at about ₹11.6 a kilometre over 807 km.
How long does the Kota to Chandigarh drive take?
About 807 km, which is 15–19 hours of driving depending on traffic and how many stops you make. The road runs from Rajasthan into Chandigarh, and the state border is part of that time.
Is Kota to Chandigarh too far for one day?
At 807 km it is a long day — 15–19 hours at the wheel before any stops. Most people leave early and break the journey once. If you would rather split it over two days, tell us when you book and the driver plans the run around it.
Which vehicle should I book from Kota to Chandigarh for a group?
The largest we run on this route is a Tempo Traveller (16 seater), which seats 16 at ₹46,806 for the round trip. For six, an Ertiga is ₹11,460 one way.
Can I book a tempo traveller one way from Kota to Chandigarh?
No — Tempo Traveller (12 seater) and Tempo Traveller (14 seater) run on round trips only. The Tempo Traveller (12 seater) is ₹40,350 for the Kota to Chandigarh round trip.
Is a round trip cheaper than two one-way fares from Kota to Chandigarh?
Yes. In a hatchback, the round trip is ₹16,140 against ₹18,720 for two separate one-way fares — ₹2,580 less, because the return leg is priced as part of one journey.
How is a round trip to Chandigarh billed?
A same-day return to Chandigarh is billed as 1614 km — the whole journey out and back, with a floor of 250 km a day.
Is there a night charge on the Kota to Chandigarh route?
₹250 for a night halt, where the trip keeps the driver out overnight.
Are toll and state tax included in the Kota to Chandigarh fare?
No. Toll and parking are paid as they arise on the road, and so is any state entry tax where the road crosses from Rajasthan into Chandigarh. The ₹9,360 fare covers what is ours — the car, the driver and the fuel; 5% GST is added on top.
Do I have to pay in advance?
A small advance online — ₹1,872 on the ₹9,360 hatchback fare — and the rest to the driver at the end of the trip.
How far in advance should I book?
At least two hours before pickup. For a 807 km run that you want to start early, book the night before so the driver can plan it; on a festival weekend, earlier again.
Can I add a stop between Kota and Chandigarh?
Yes — under "Add a stop on the way" when you book; the desk calls to confirm what it adds.
Can I cancel the booking?
Yes, any time before the trip starts — at most ₹1,872 is kept on the ₹9,360 fare, and anything paid above it is refunded.
