Which Car Suits Your Group

| Up to 6 people | SUV Ertiga 4 bags | ₹4,999 |

Catching a Train? When to Leave Surat
For an early departure, book the evening before so the pickup is settled before you sleep. Traffic is lightest before sunrise and heaviest in the weekday rush, so a morning or evening peak is the time to add extra margin.

|---|---|---|
| 7:00 am | 6:30 am | 11:55 pm day before |

Tips for a Smoother Ride
- Count the bags before you choose. The booking form asks how many you have, so the car that turns up has room for them.
- Keep some money handy for the road. Parking is not in this fare; carry a little cash or a UPI app to pay on the way.
- Check the platform before you leave, so the driver knows which side of the station to drop you.
- Travelling in the monsoon? Between June and September rain can slow the highways, so add a little extra time.
- Share your trip details. The driver's name and cab number reach you by SMS before pickup; forward it to someone at home, especially for a late-night ride.
One Way or Round Trip?
Both come with a driver; the difference is whether the car stays with you. A one-way cab drops you at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and heads back on its own, so you pay for one direction only. It suits anyone staying on, moving home or returning another way.
A round trip keeps the same car and driver with you and brings you back, which is the better booking for a day visit or a stay of a day or two.
Returning another day? One-way cabs from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Surat start at ₹3,499, and you can see those fares here.
