All Vehicle & Transport (6 Tools)

What are Vehicle & Transport?

Vehicle and transport tools on SabTools.in handle the purchase, ownership, and operating-cost math that every Indian car, bike, or commercial-vehicle owner runs — what is the fuel-cost-per-kilometre at current petrol/diesel/CNG prices, what is the total cost of a planned road trip including tolls and fuel, what insurance premium to expect on a new car's IDV, what tyre size fits a given vehicle's rim specification, how much the car has depreciated after 3-5 years of ownership, and what the highway toll will cost between any two Indian cities on the expressway network. These are the questions that turn a one-line purchase decision or trip plan into a budget-accurate figure. Each tool here uses Indian market data (2025 fuel prices by state, NHAI toll tables, IRDAI-regulated insurance bands, OEM depreciation curves).

Key Features & Capabilities

State-specific fuel pricing with CNG and EV support

Mileage Calculator takes vehicle odometer + fuel-tank fill data and computes km/litre (petrol/diesel) or km/kg (CNG) or km/kWh (EV). Current state fuel prices (petrol ₹94-110/L, diesel ₹84-100/L across states) are built-in so the cost-per-km output is realistic. For EV owners, home vs public-charging rate toggle shows the 4-8x cost spread.

Multi-city route planning with tolls and fuel budget

Road Trip Planner takes origin + destination + intermediate stops, routes through the NHAI expressway and state-highway network, and returns total distance, fuel cost at current state prices, toll charges from the NHAI toll table, and suggested overnight-stop cities for trips over 600 km.

IDV-based insurance premium estimation

Car Insurance Estimator uses IRDAI's ready-reckoner depreciation table (5% in year 1, 10% in year 2, rising to 50% by year 5) to compute IDV, then applies 3-5% own-damage premium + ₹20,000-₹40,000 third-party premium (by cc), plus NCB discount for claim-free years. The output range matches what you would see from Policybazaar or Acko for the same car.

Tyre-size compatibility and depreciation modelling

Tyre Size Calculator decodes the 195/65R15 format (width / aspect-ratio R rim-diameter), returns speed/load index meaning, and suggests compatible up-size and down-size options within 3% rolling-circumference tolerance. Vehicle Depreciation Calculator models straight-line and declining-balance schedules for resale-value estimation.

Common Use Cases

1

Pre-purchase cost-of-ownership analysis

Comparing a petrol vs diesel vs CNG vs EV version of the same car: Mileage Calculator with realistic driving-distance estimate (15,000 km/year for a city driver) gives annual fuel cost. Vehicle Depreciation Calculator gives resale-value difference after 5 years. Car Insurance Estimator gives premium difference. Together these give the true cost-of-ownership that brochure MRP hides.

2

Road trip planning and budgeting

Planning a Delhi-to-Kochi road trip (2,900 km): Road Trip Planner routes through the NH-44 and NH-66 expressway network, computes fuel cost (~₹18,000-22,000 for a petrol sedan), toll charges (~₹4,500-6,000 depending on FASTag type and exempt vehicles), and suggests Agra, Hyderabad, Bengaluru as overnight stops. Total trip cost ± 10% of the actual figure.

3

Insurance renewal and IDV negotiation

Renewing a 4-year-old car's comprehensive insurance: Car Insurance Estimator gives the IRDAI-consistent IDV range (not the low-ball figure some insurers propose). Use this figure to negotiate against the insurer's offered IDV — a ₹50,000 IDV difference translates to ₹4,000-₹5,000 in own-damage-cover difference, which is worth the 15-minute negotiation.

4

Tyre replacement and up-sizing

Tyre Size Calculator confirms whether a suggested 205/55R16 up-size from stock 195/65R15 is safe (rolling circumference within 3% tolerance). For a city-driven sedan, moderate up-sizing improves handling slightly at the cost of ride comfort; the tool flags when the proposed size exceeds safe tolerance bands.

How to Choose the Right Tool

For cost-of-ownership analysis — Mileage Calculator for fuel efficiency; Vehicle Depreciation Calculator for resale curve; Car Insurance Estimator for insurance premium. Run all three for any pre-purchase comparison. For trip-specific planning — Road Trip Planner for the full itinerary with fuel + tolls; Toll Calculator for point-to-point toll-only queries on specific expressway segments. For vehicle maintenance and upgrades — Tyre Size Calculator for tyre replacement/up-size decisions. For resale timing — Vehicle Depreciation Calculator shows the knee in the depreciation curve (years 3-4 for most cars) where selling yields best trade-off. Workflow for a car purchase: shortlist models → Mileage Calculator for each model → Vehicle Depreciation Calculator → Car Insurance Estimator → total 5-year cost ranking → decide. Workflow for a trip: Road Trip Planner with all stops → note overnight-stay cities → Toll Calculator for FASTag balance requirement → fuel up before departure. None of these tools access live vehicle data; they are calculators, not telematics.

Vehicle & Transport Built for India

Indian vehicle costs reflect state-specific and central factors that global vehicle-cost tools miss. Fuel prices vary by ₹10-15/L across states due to state VAT — Maharashtra and Karnataka are always among the higher priced, Delhi among the lower. Our Mileage Calculator uses the current state-specific price, not a single national average. Road tolls on NHAI expressways follow a published per-km tariff (₹2.50-4.50/km for cars; ₹5-8/km for trucks) with specific toll-plaza rates published by NHAI; our Road Trip Planner sums these along the route. Tolls are collected via FASTag (RFID) with a 2.5% discount for FASTag users. Car insurance is IRDAI-regulated with specific rules on NCB (no-claim-bonus) that accrues 20-50% discount over 5 claim-free years. Vehicle depreciation follows an empirical curve that is steeper in India than Western markets — 25-30% in year 1 is typical for non-commercial-use cars because of our much-lower resale liquidity. Tyre sizes follow ISO standards globally but Indian OEMs often fit narrower, lower-speed-rated tyres than the same car in Western markets; up-sizing within 3% rolling circumference is generally safe but voids the manufacturer's ride-quality calibration.

Who Uses These Vehicle & Transport?

Car owners tracking fuel expenses, road trip planners estimating total costs, used vehicle buyers checking depreciation values, and two-wheeler riders comparing mileage figures.

Why Use Vehicle & Transport on SabTools.in?

Frequently Asked Questions

How frequently are fuel prices updated in Mileage Calculator?
Daily — reflecting the daily revision that petrol and diesel pricing has been under since June 2017. State VAT and dealer commission are baked into the retail price we use. For a rough budget, the prices are reliable to within ₹0.50/L; for a high-precision calculation, the variance between morning and afternoon is negligible.
Does Road Trip Planner support multiple route options (fastest vs shortest vs cheapest)?
Yes — three modes: fastest (expressway, maximum tolls), shortest (state highways, fewer tolls but more time), cheapest (optimising fuel + toll cost, usually a mix). For a Delhi-to-Mumbai trip, fastest is ~1,450 km via expressway with ~₹3,500 in tolls; cheapest is ~1,500 km via state highways with ~₹2,000 in tolls but 3-4 hours more driving.
Can Car Insurance Estimator give me a binding premium or just an estimate?
Estimate — typically within ±10% of the actual quote you'd receive from Acko, Go Digit, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, or Tata AIG for a comprehensive policy. The tool is for pre-quote budgeting; for the binding quote, you still need to fill each insurer's form or use an aggregator. Final premium depends on exact variant (a car's own-damage cover can vary by ₹500-₹2,000 between otherwise-identical trims).
Is Tyre Size Calculator safe to trust for changing tyre size from stock?
For up-size within 3% rolling circumference tolerance, yes — that range preserves speedometer accuracy and fits typical wheel wells. Beyond 3%, speedometer reads wrong and the engine computer's traction-control may behave unexpectedly; the tool flags that. Also verify load index and speed rating — a lower-rated tyre is legal but unsafe; the tool requires load index matching or exceeding the OEM specification.
How accurate is Vehicle Depreciation Calculator for Indian second-hand pricing?
Within ±15% of OLX/Cars24/Spinny listings for popular models (Swift, Baleno, Nexon, Creta, City, Dzire, Venue, Bolero) in the 1-5 year age range. For niche or low-volume models (imported luxury, low-sales variants), accuracy drops — always verify against live listings before using the depreciation figure for a binding sale or purchase decision.
