What is driver bata? Outstation cab charges in Tamil Nadu explained

Driver bata, also called driver allowance, is a daily amount for the driver on outstation trips. Every operator in Tamil Nadu charges it, per day of the trip. For our Urbania it is ₹700 a day. For other vehicles we include it in the fare we send you.

Other common line items

• Minimum km per day: outstation days are billed at 300 km at least
• Toll and parking: extra
• Other-state permit and taxes: when you cross into Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh or Puducherry
• Local packages: 10 hours or 100 km, with rent, fuel and bata already included

How to compare quotes

Ask each operator for the fare in writing, with the same km, days and vehicle, and a clear list of what is extra. A lower per-km rate with a higher daily minimum can end up costing more.
