One-way bookings are the right call if you're staying in Prayagraj overnight or heading there for a pilgrimage without a fixed return date. You pay for the distance from your pickup point to your drop location in Prayagraj. The route to Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj Junction, or Civil Lines all fall within the 135 km slab. If you're travelling from Varanasi Cantt or the ghats, the distance is closer to 121 km.
If you're making a same-day return, round trip works out cheaper when you split the per-km cost across 250 plus km. Try leaving Varanasi before 7 AM if you want to reach Sangam for the morning aarti and get back to Varanasi by evening. The same driver stays with you for both legs, which means no re-booking and no fresh negotiation on the return.

Pickups from Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (Babatpur) carry a slightly higher base fare. The airport is roughly 25 km from the city centre, so the included km slab rises to 145 km for this route. Share your flight number at booking so the driver adjusts for any delay.
Airport entry and parking fees are separate and paid on-site. The driver arrives at the arrivals gate with a name board.
Pickup is available from Varanasi Junction (Cantt Station), Manduadih (Banaras Station), Prayagraj Road Station, and any other Varanasi railway station address. The fare structure is the same as a city pickup. Share your train arrival time when you book so the driver adjusts for delays. Driver details reach you via SMS or WhatsApp before the train arrives. For Banaras Taxi Fare from Varanasi Cantt to Prayagraj, Sedan rates start at Rs. 2,250 total, Ertiga starts at Rs. 2,850, and Innova Crysta starts at Rs. 3,000, all inclusive of toll and driver allowance for the one-way trip.
If four of you are splitting the cost, a Sedan works out at around Rs. 712 per head one-way. Six passengers in an Ertiga brings that down to Rs. 580 per person. For large families or corporate groups, the Innova Crysta's per-head cost drops further when all six seats are filled.
Per-head calculations assume full vehicle capacity. Call 844-844-5504 for a confirmed quote based on your exact pickup point and travel date.
Prayagraj sees sharp demand spikes during Magh Mela (January to February) and Kumbh Mela years. On major bathing dates, vehicle availability tightens across all categories. Book 48 to 72 hours in advance during these windows to lock in a confirmed fare and driver. NH-19 stays operational, but entry roads closer to Prayagraj Junction and Sangam can add 30 to 45 minutes on peak bathing days. Chiku Cab's drivers on this corridor know the bypass options and adjust the approach route based on crowd conditions. The fixed fare doesn't change on high-demand dates. What you confirm at booking is what you pay.
One-way cab fares start at Rs. 2,447 for a Hatchback and Rs. 2,792 for a Sedan. An Ertiga SUV is Rs. 3,492 and an Innova Crysta is Rs. 3,912. All fares include fuel, driver allowance, and one-way toll. GST at 5% is already factored into these totals.
A Sedan (Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios) costs Rs. 2,792 one-way, covering 125 km from any city pickup point. The base fare is Rs. 2,250 plus Rs. 113 GST. Round trip is charged at Rs. 10 per km with a minimum of 250 km per day and a driver allowance of Rs. 250.
The distance is 121 to 135 km depending on your pickup point. City and railway station pickups fall closer to 121 km. Airport pickups add roughly 14 km. Travel time via NH-19 is 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The Varanasi Cantt stretch and the final approach into central Prayagraj are the two spots that add time during peak hours.
No. Every charge is shown before you confirm. Fuel, driver allowance, toll for the one-way leg, and GST are all covered in the quoted fare. Parking at the destination and state tax, if applicable, are paid on-site but disclosed upfront. Night travel between 10 PM and 5 AM carries an additional Rs. 250 to Rs. 300 depending on vehicle type. That's also shown at booking, not added at drop.
You can book through the Chiku Cab app, call 844-844-5504, or message on WhatsApp. Confirmation arrives within minutes with the driver's name, contact number, and a live GPS link. For Sedan and Hatchback, minimum advance booking is 2 hours. For Innova Crysta or Tempo Traveller, book 12 to 24 hours ahead.
Airport pickups start at Rs. 2,828 for a Hatchback and Rs. 2,953 for a Sedan. The included km slab is 145 km since Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport (Babatpur) sits roughly 25 km outside Varanasi city. Ertiga fare is Rs. 3,492 and Innova Crysta is Rs. 3,912. Share your flight number at booking so the driver adjusts for delays.
It depends on the actual distance you cover. A one-way Sedan costs Rs. 2,792 fixed. A round trip at Rs. 10 per km with a 250 km minimum comes to Rs. 2,500 plus Rs. 250 driver allowance, totalling Rs. 2,750 before GST. If you're returning the same day and staying under 250 km, round trip costs roughly the same or slightly less. If your round trip covers more than 270 km, the per-km billing adds up quickly and one-way plus a separate return booking may work out better.
Yes. Chiku Cab drops to Triveni Sangam directly. The driver takes you to Sangam ghat parking, which is the closest road access point. That's something a train can't do. Prayagraj Junction sits 7 km short of Sangam and needs an auto or tempo for the final stretch. The full route from Varanasi falls within the standard 135 km fare slab, so no extra distance charge applies.
NH-19 is a four-lane national highway for most of this route and is generally safe for night travel. Every Chiku Cab driver on this corridor holds a valid UP commercial licence and has completed document verification. Live GPS tracking runs throughout the trip. Night travel between 10 PM and 5 AM carries a driver night charge of Rs. 250 for Sedan and Rs. 300 for SUV. That's shown at booking.
Chiku Cab picks up from any Varanasi address: your hotel near Dashashwamedh Ghat, the BHU campus, Varanasi Cantt, Manduadih Station, or Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport. There's no fixed pickup booth. Call 844-844-5504, message on WhatsApp, or book on the app with your exact address and the driver comes to you.
