Welcome to Tirupati Travels. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website and the taxi, cab, Tempo Traveller and other travel-related services provided by us.

By accessing our website, submitting a booking enquiry, contacting us for a travel service or making a booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

2. Definitions

For the purpose of these Terms & Conditions:

  • "Company", "we", "us" or "our" refers to Tirupati Travels.
  • "Customer", "you" or "your" refers to the person making an enquiry or booking.
  • "Vehicle" means the taxi, cab, SUV, Sedan, Innova, Innova Crysta, Tempo Traveller or other vehicle provided for the journey.
  • "Trip" means the journey requested by the customer.
  • "Driver" means the driver assigned to operate the vehicle for the journey.

3. Booking & Confirmation

A booking enquiry submitted through the website, phone or WhatsApp does not automatically guarantee a confirmed booking.

A booking becomes confirmed only after our team communicates the confirmation to the customer through an available communication channel.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate information, including:

  • Passenger name
  • Mobile number
  • Pickup location
  • Drop location
  • Travel date
  • Pickup time
  • Number of passengers
  • Luggage requirements
  • Preferred vehicle type

Incorrect or incomplete information may result in delays, additional charges or inability to provide the requested service.

4. Vehicle Allocation

We make reasonable efforts to provide the vehicle category selected by the customer.

However, the exact vehicle model may be subject to availability. Where necessary, we may provide another vehicle of the same or similar category.

Vehicle images displayed on the website are for general representation only. The actual vehicle may differ in colour, registration number, model year or minor specifications.

For specific vehicle requests such as Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze, Ertiga, Innova or Innova Crysta, customers should confirm availability with our team before booking.

5. Passenger Capacity

Customers must not exceed the legally permitted passenger capacity of the vehicle.

The number of passengers should match the selected vehicle category. For example, a Sedan is generally suitable for a small group, while SUVs and Tempo Travellers are more appropriate for larger groups.

If the number of passengers exceeds the vehicle capacity, we may require the customer to upgrade to a larger vehicle or arrange an additional vehicle.

6. Fare & Pricing

Fares displayed on our website are indicative or starting fares unless specifically stated otherwise.

The final fare may depend on several factors, including:

  • Pickup and drop locations
  • Travel date and time
  • Vehicle category
  • One-way or round-trip journey
  • Trip duration
  • Additional kilometres
  • Waiting time
  • Toll charges
  • Parking charges
  • State taxes or applicable government charges
  • Airport entry or parking charges
  • Additional stops or route changes

The applicable fare communicated at the time of booking confirmation will be considered the applicable booking fare, subject to the conditions communicated to the customer.

7. Tolls, Parking & Government Charges

Unless explicitly included in the quoted fare, tolls, parking charges, airport entry fees, state taxes and other government or location-specific charges may be payable separately.

Such charges may be collected at actual cost and may vary depending on the route, destination and applicable authority charges.

Customers should confirm inclusions and exclusions with our booking team before starting the journey if they require a detailed fare breakdown.

8. One-Way Trips

One-way fares apply only to the journey specified at the time of booking.

If the customer requests additional stops, route changes, extended waiting or return travel, additional charges may apply.

A one-way booking does not automatically include a return journey. Return travel must be separately confirmed.

9. Round Trips

Round-trip pricing is based on the route, duration, distance and conditions communicated at the time of booking.

If the customer extends the trip beyond the agreed duration or distance, additional charges may apply.

Customers should communicate any expected changes in itinerary before the trip whenever possible.

10. Pickup & Waiting Time

Customers should be ready at the agreed pickup location at the confirmed pickup time.

Waiting time may be chargeable if the customer is unavailable after the agreed waiting period.

Airport pickups may require additional waiting due to flight delays, baggage collection, terminal procedures or traffic conditions.

Customers are encouraged to provide accurate flight details when booking an airport transfer.

11. Airport Transfers

Airport pickup and drop services are subject to airport rules, traffic restrictions, entry regulations and designated pickup locations.

Drivers may not always be permitted to wait directly outside a terminal due to airport restrictions.

Customers may be required to proceed to a designated pickup point communicated by the driver or booking team.

Airport parking, entry and waiting charges may apply separately where applicable.

12. Travel Time & Traffic

Estimated travel times displayed on the website are approximate. Actual journey time may vary due to:

  • Accidents
  • Traffic diversions

Customers are required to follow reasonable safety instructions provided by the driver during the journey.

Seat belts should be worn whenever available and required by applicable law.

Customers must not request or pressure the driver to drive dangerously, exceed legal speed limits or violate traffic rules.

Our drivers may refuse requests that would compromise passenger safety or violate applicable laws.

  • Damaging vehicle property
  • Threatening or abusive behaviour

  • Smoking where prohibited
  • Carrying dangerous or hazardous materials

We reserve the right to discontinue a journey where customer behaviour creates a serious safety risk.

15. Luggage

Customers should inform us about their luggage requirements before booking, particularly when travelling with a large group.

Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle type, number of passengers and size of bags.

We cannot guarantee that all luggage will fit if the customer brings luggage beyond the reasonable capacity of the selected vehicle.

Customers are responsible for valuable personal belongings carried inside the vehicle.

16. Cancellation & Rescheduling

Cancellation and rescheduling conditions may vary depending on the type of booking, vehicle category and time remaining before pickup.

Any outstanding amount must be paid according to the payment arrangement communicated during booking.

Customers should retain payment receipts or transaction references where applicable.

18. Online Payments

If online payment facilities are provided through a third-party payment gateway, payment processing may be subject to that provider's terms and policies.

We do not store complete card, banking or other sensitive payment credentials unless explicitly required and lawfully permitted for the service.

Customers should never share OTPs, PINs, passwords or confidential banking information with anyone claiming to represent our company.

19. Vehicle Breakdown or Replacement

Although we make reasonable efforts to provide reliable vehicles, unexpected mechanical or technical issues may occasionally occur.

In the event of a vehicle breakdown or other operational issue, we will make reasonable efforts to arrange a replacement vehicle or alternative solution, subject to availability.

Replacement vehicles may be of the same or similar category.

We will not be responsible for delays, cancellations or inability to provide services caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include natural disasters, severe weather, floods, earthquakes, strikes, riots, road closures, government restrictions, accidents, vehicle failures, public emergencies or other unforeseen events.

21. Personal Belongings
