How much does the Trichy to Chennai cab cost?+
Fares depend on the vehicle you choose — hatchback, sedan or SUV. Enter your pickup and drop to see the exact live fare, with tolls, state taxes and GST itemised before you confirm the booking. True one-way pricing: you only pay for the distance you travel.
How long does the Trichy to Chennai drive take?+

Can I book a one-way cab from Trichy to Chennai?+
Yes. Gaadix offers true one-way fares on this route, so you only pay for the distance you travel — no return charges. Round trips with driver waiting time are also available.
What is a drop taxi from Trichy to Chennai?+
The same thing as a one-way cab: the car takes you from Trichy to Chennai and you pay for that direction only, never for the driver's return. On Gaadix every one-way fare is a drop-taxi fare — the 330.5 km you book are the kilometres you pay for.
Is advance payment required?+
You confirm the booking by paying an advance of 10% and settle the balance with the driver after the trip. Cancellation is free at any time before a driver accepts, and free up to 24 hours before pickup once one has. Between 24 and 2 hours a cancellation fee of 20% of the fare applies, capped at ₹100, and the rest of your advance is refunded. Inside 2 hours of pickup the advance is not refunded. The exact amount is always shown before you confirm the cancellation.
Worth knowing about this route
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 300 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 331 km each way, so 661 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 900 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
The Chennai end is the slow part
The slow part is GST Road through Tambaram and Chengalpattu. On Friday evenings and Sunday nights the toll plazas near Chennai back up badly; travelling early in the morning avoids most of it.
THE DRIVE BACK
Chennai to Trichy cab — from ₹4,838
Same road, priced on its own. A one-way each way is often cheaper than holding the car for days.
