Does this seem reasonable to people here who've done this trip in the past? (It seems quite reasonable to me but I just wonder what others think...)

Would it be customary to tip at the end to make it a flat 20k?
Do you know which car it is?

Rs. 17,000 isn't bad if it's an innova. It's on the higher side if it's an Indigo. If he does a good job I'd say Rs. 3,000 is more than adequate. If he's only average I think Rs. 1,200 - 1,500 is a sufficient tip.
