Most people living in Punjab and the Northern part of Haryana tend to visit Chandigarh Airport to travel to other destinations in India. Usually, people ask a family member or a friend to take them to the Airport, while others prefer a taxi. Taxis are a fast and comfortable mode of travel to reach an airport as taxi drivers are familiar with the roads. However, airport fares can vary by city. The following are the factors that can directly affect airport taxi fare:
1. Distance and Route: Let’s understand it by taking examples of two different of Punjab from where a person wants to travel via taxi to Chandigarh Airport, Ferozepur, and Patiala. The distance between Chandigarh Airport and Ferozepur is 233 KM, which means a taxi will take approximately 4 hours. So, a taxi fare from Ferozepur to Chandigarh Airport will be 2500, considering the per KM charges as 10 rupees. The distance between Patiala and Chandigarh Airport is 1.5 hours (65 km). So fare will be 1500 rupees, considering a 10 rupees per km charge. That is how a taxi fare changes depending on the distance.
2. Toll Charges: Number of toll tax barriers on one particular route can also bring a change to a taxi fare. More number of toll tax paid means more taxi fare will be charged from a traveler. Shimla to Chandigarh has very less number of toll tax barriers on its route than Jalandhar to Chandigarh Airport route. So fare change of a taxi from Shimla to Chandigarh be lesser as compared to that of Jalandhar to Chandigarh Airport.
3. Type of Vehicle: A single person traveling prefers a sedan as a taxi, while a group of family members goes for an SUV to reach an airport comfortably. A sedan is typically a five-seater car, while an SUV is a seven-seater and offers a more spacious seating arrangement. More comfort means more fare, so an SUV taxi will always be expensive than a sedan taxi to Chandigarh airport.
4. Peak Hours: Early morning travels and late night travels via are risky for drivers as well as passengers. That is why the cost of traveling during these peak hours is also high. Drivers take all the risks to drop passengers off at their locations safely and on time. Airport passengers at peak hours should be prepared to pay more for booking a taxi than during normal daytime hours.
Passengers shall always consider all the above-mentioned factors while booking a taxi to an airport. Only after considering all the factors, passengers shall calculate an approximate fare to their destination.
