What All is Included in Innova Rental Charges?

You're searching for an Innova car rent per day quote, and you see a nice, simple number. But here’s the secret: that single figure-your Innova Crysta rental package cost-almost never covers your entire trip.

We believe in total honesty. Before you book, you need to know what's included and, more importantly, what gets added later. Think of this as your complete, no-surprises guide to your total Innova rental bill for travel from Delhi-NCR.

1. What's Already Covered in the Price You See (The Good News!)

Let’s clear up the biggest confusion first regarding Innova car rent per day. Whether you book the standard ₹3,500 local package or the ₹18/km outstation rate, this is what the company absorbs for you:

For Your Local City Trips (The 8 Hours / 80 km Deal):

• The Car Rental Itself: This is the core cost for using the Innova for the first 8 hours and 80 kilometers.

• The Fuel: No need to worry about the petrol pump! Fuel consumed within that 80-kilometer limit is included.

• The Driver’s Basic Pay: Your driver’s standard wage is covered by the package rate. They won't charge a separate daily allowance for standard city use.

• Peace of Mind: All the boring stuff-regular maintenance, servicing, and vehicle insurance is on us.

For Your Long Outstation Journeys (The Per-Kilometer Model):

• The Car Rental and Distance: The cost for the vehicle, calculated per kilometer traveled.

• The Fuel: Completely Included. The cost of diesel is already factored into your per-kilometer rate (e.g., that ₹18/km).

• The Driver’s Pay: Their standard salary is covered.

• Stress-Free Travel: Maintenance and insurance are always covered by the rental agency.

2. The "Must Pay Extras": Expenses Not Covered

• These are necessary expenses that keep the trip moving; they are always paid separately by you (the responsible person) at the actual cost. They usually get settled with the driver directly.

• Road Trip Things/Clearances (Government/Highway Fees)

• Toll Tax-Each time you go through a national or state highway toll plaza (like the Agra Expressway toll, for example) they separate and charge you for the fee.

• State Permit/Tax: If your trip crosses a state border (say, from Delhi into Rajasthan or Himachal Pradesh), a mandatory fee is required for the commercial vehicle to enter the new state.

• Parking Charges: Any parking fee incurred at the airport, your hotel, or any tourist spot is your responsibility.

Driver Care (Because they need a break too!)

• Outstation Driver Allowance (DA): For any overnight outstation trip, you pay a mandatory daily fee of ₹400 – ₹500 per calendar day. This is simply to cover the driver's meals and a place to stay. 

• Late Night Charges: If your local 8 hour city trip gets late and ends after 10:00 PM, there will be an extra amount to be charged (about Rs 250 to 350) to compensate the driver for being out on a call late at night.

3. Your Transparency Checklist: Things to Ask Before You Book

To make sure your final bill aligns exactly with your budget, pull out your phone and ask the rental agency these simple, clarifying questions:

"What are your Overtime/Overage rates?" - Ask for the exact cost for exceeding the 8 hours (e.g., ₹250 per hour) and the 80 kilometers (e.g., ₹18-₹20 per km).

"Is the 250 km Minimum Daily Billing strict?" - Confirm that if you only drive 100 km on a day of your outstation trip, you will still be charged for 250 km.

"Is the billing Garage-to-Garage?" - For local trips, clarify if the clock starts and the distance tally begins from your pick-up point, or if they charge for the driver traveling from the depot.

"Can you offer an All-Inclusive Quote?" - Ask if they can simplify things by bundling the estimated tolls, taxes, and Driver Allowance into a single, comprehensive price so you don't have to worry about cash payments.

By insisting on full transparency regarding the Innova Crysta rental package, including all inclusions and exclusions, you are establishing control and minimizing the likelihood of any surprises on your final bill.
