Sounds very very high but depends on what kind of taxi.
Will you be keeping the car with you in Surat while you are there? Even assuming it is 600 km round trip to Surat, at 10rs/km (high estimate) That is 6000 rs Airport Bhayandar not more than 50km...so 600 rs odd even 1000? Does not add up. Why are you prebooking anything other than airport bhayander? Quote:

Atleast 30 % extra charges on...
And with all the details you have given, how does it add up to 20,000 INR. Are you going to use the vehicle for more than 10 days ? ribhu |

Sounds like they are trying to seriously rip you off. Sort it out when you get there perhaps. Or at least try someone else.
Over how many days is this trip happening? |

Cost of Toyota Innova should not be more than Rs. 10 per KM
Driver charges vary from Rs. 100-200 per night.....

Why are you booking your taxi in advance, you will get lot of options once you will reach to Mumbai.
Mumbai to Surat is 275 KMs and with return trip it will come around 550. Currently you will get Tavera AC at 7RS / KM so it will come around 3850 + 150 RS Driver's + Toll Tax(Around 250 RS). You can directly approach to any travel agent once you reach to Mumbai. And for Airport to Bhyander, you can directly book a taxi from Airport it self. Regards Rushi |

Also depends on the number of days. How many days are you going to be spending in Surat? Precise details will help get you clear information.
But assuming you are going to be in Surat for 4 days (Including travel days), the total cost of the trip (MUM-SURAT-MUM) should not be more than 10,000 - 12000/- rupees including driver's allowance, tolls etc. |
