Frequently asked questions
How is the freight estimate calculated?
VRC computes road distance for your route and prices it using the selected vehicle's rate card, tolls and demand. The result is an estimated ₹ band, shown before 18% GST.
How much does a truck cost per km in India?
It depends on the vehicle. A mini truck like a Tata Ace is roughly ₹11–13/km, a 14 ft truck ₹21–24/km, and a 32 ft container ₹32–36/km — before tolls and taxes. Long-haul routes taper lower per km.
Is the calculated price final?
No — it is an accurate estimate for planning. Your exact, GST-inclusive quote is generated at booking based on live route, vehicle and timing.
Which vehicle should I choose?
Match the vehicle to your load weight: a mini truck for under ~750 kg, a 14 ft truck for 3–4 tonnes, a 20 ft truck for ~8 tonnes, and a 32 ft container or trailer for full heavy loads.
