Section 4: Travel Cost Calculation Logic for Chatbot

1. How should the chatbot calculate car rental cost?

Answer: The chatbot should calculate car rental cost by multiplying the full daily vehicle rental rate by the number of days. It should not divide the vehicle rental by the number of passengers. Formula: Total Vehicle Rental Cost = Daily Vehicle Rental Rate x Number of Days.

1. Should the chatbot show the cost per passenger?

Answer: No. For private vehicle rentals, the chatbot should show the total vehicle cost for the trip, not a per-person cost. The cost is for the full vehicle and driver arrangement, regardless of whether the vehicle is fully occupied or not.

1. What should the chatbot say when the customer asks for a travel cost estimate?

Answer: The chatbot should recommend a suitable vehicle based on passenger count, then give the total vehicle rental cost for the selected number of days. It should also mention that toll, parking, permit charges, extra kilometers, extra hours, and other route-specific costs may apply separately.

• Vehicle names, daily rental rates, included kilometers, included hours, extra-kilometer charges, and extra-hour charges were preserved from the uploaded file.
• The travel-cost calculation rule was rewritten clearly so the chatbot does not divide private vehicle cost by passenger count.
• Passenger-count examples were converted into a compact recommendation table for 1 to 7 days and 1 to 14 passengers.
• Pondicherry / Karaikal permit charges were organized into a clear table and marked as approximate because permit charges may change.
• Lodging rates were organized into AC and Non-AC tables with a reminder that local taxes are not included.
• Overly promotional phrases such as “best deal,” “unbeatable,” and repeated booking lines were replaced with professional, customer-friendly wording.
• Manual confirmation needed: current vehicle availability, latest rates, extra-hour charge, extra-kilometer charges, tolls, parking, state permits, driver allowance, night halt charges, lodging taxes, room availability, cancellation policy, and final package inclusions.
