Is toll included in the Varanasi to Delhi fare?
Yes — our quote includes an estimate for highway tolls. The classic GT Road → Kanpur → Agra → Yamuna Expressway route has 11 car plazas totalling about ₹1,500 one-way; a newer all-expressway routing is quicker but tolls run higher (₹2,200). Either way, tolls are already covered in your fixed fare. There is no separate state tax on this route.
Is the Varanasi to Delhi fare fixed or metered?

For 5-6 people an Ertiga (6-seat) or Innova (7-seat) is ideal — comfortable with luggage. On this route an Innova is from ₹31,783 round-trip.
Is the Varanasi to Delhi fare per car or per person?
Per car. The fare covers the whole vehicle — fuel, tolls and the driver — however many of you travel, up to the seat limit. A Dzire seats 4, an Ertiga 6 and an Innova 7, so a family sharing one car pays once, not per head.
