Yes. All 5 FASTag toll plaza fees across NH 79 and NH 32 are 100% incorporated into your booking with zero unexpected charges upon arrival in Chennai.

Can the driver drop us directly at Chennai Central (MAS) or Egmore (MS) station?

Yes. Your chauffeur will navigate arterial city flyovers to drop you right at the designated departure ramp of Chennai Central (Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central) or Egmore Station.

Can we stop for meals and coffee on the highway back to Chennai?

Yes. You can take leisurely breaks at verified family stops such as Junior Kuppanna Attur, A2B Ulundurpet, or Manoj Bhavan Tindivanam with clean washrooms.
