What Is Included in the Fare?

One of the most common complaints about airport cabs in Bangalore is hidden charges added at the end of the trip. Here is a clear breakdown of what our fare includes and what it doesn't:

App Cabs vs Pre-Booked Private Cabs – Which is Cheaper?

Many travellers default to Ola or Uber for airport trips without comparing. Here's an honest comparison based on current 2026 pricing during peak hours:

FactorApp Cabs (Ola/Uber)Pre-Booked Private Cab
Price at peak hoursSurge: 1.5x–2.5x baseFixed, no surge
Vehicle guaranteeNo (random allocation)Yes, exact vehicle booked
Driver reliabilityCancellations commonGuaranteed pickup
Toll chargesAdded at end of tripIncluded in quote
Luggage spaceNot guaranteedCommunicated in advance
Receipt / GST InvoiceApp receipt onlyGST invoice available

⚠️ Peak hour alert: Ola/Uber airport fares during morning peak (6–9 AM) and evening peak (5–8 PM) can be 2x–3x the base rate. A Dzire that normally costs ₹1,300 can surge to ₹2,800+ on a Monday morning. Pre-booking locks your rate.

Yes. Our airport fares are fixed 24/7. Early morning (before 5 AM) and late night rides do not cost extra. This is one of the key advantages over app-based cabs.
