Best Taxi booking apps for Android and iPhone (iOS) users in India

UBER

UBER

Uber is an international company which started its operations in India and is known as the cheapest cab service available in the market with really low rates as well as quite a large amount of services provided by them to the riders.

The cities which it operates in are Mumbai, Jaipur, New Delhi, Bangalore, Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Udaipur, Vadodara, Visakhapatnam, Pune, Surat, Mysore, Nagpur, Nashik, Kochi, Kolkata, Mangalore, Jodhpur, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, and Chennai.

It has applications for both Android as well as iOS devices. The working of uber is that after detecting your location of gps, it starts showing you the drivers present in that area and then you can choose by seeing the rating which deriver you would like to choose or enter a destination first and then check the time of the trip and then fare before hiring the driver.

You will also get the information of car and driver and a phone number to contact them. They have a dedicated customer care which handles complaints anytime by mail or phone number present on application or website.

The major drawback of this service is that no option for advance booking is present in India and you have to take a cab at that point only but if you have a planned event or something then you can consider other options because if Uber is not available you might get in a bit of a situation.

OLA Cabs Service

OLA Cabs Service

Ola is one of India’s largest taxi Booking apps or services provides you intercity riding service and is a really good service in India.

The cities in which Ola is operated are Mumbai, Jaipur, New Delhi, Bangalore, Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Udaipur, Vadodara, Visakhapatnam, Pune, Surat, Mysore, Nagpur, Nashik, Kochi, Kolkata, Mangalore, Jodhpur, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Coimbatore and Chennai.

The services of Ola are available in other cities too but you have to check your application because the number of cars and drivers are much less but the cities mentioned above has a really decent service of ola cabs.

Ola cabs have a dedicated android as well as iOS application to book cabs but unlike uber can be booked online from your laptop or PC by opening the website.

In OLA cabs the best part is that pre-booking of cabs is allowed on the time which you can decide with the date. This makes it much friendlier for the users as it can be planned well in advance. Getting a cab within an hour needs to be done only on the application as the website only support pre-booking service.

OLA cabs are just middlemen and they have a dedicated support and any complaint to the driver is acted upon as the problems are heard with serious concern. It has the same booking system as UBER. The drivers are dressed and well educated and there is no problem in communicating with them as they help you a lot.

But the major drawback of using OLA is that due to no conduct code for drivers unlike UBER which has a set of rules, so you might get some pretty rude drivers and sometimes not so helpful people which will make your journey a really big problem.

So in terms of customer satisfaction, they are no match with UBER service.

Meru Services

Meru Cabs- Local, Rental, Outstation, Airport Taxi

The cities in which the Meru service operates is Mumbai, Jaipur, New Delhi, Bangalore, Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Udaipur, Vadodara, Visakhapatnam, Pune, Surat, Mysore, Nagpur, Nashik, Kochi, Kolkata, Mangalore, Jodhpur, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Coimbatore and Chennai.

Meru Cabs have a really great service and has been the oldest service present in the business for years. Their drivers are well mannered and the ride is completely safe for women too but the bigger problem is that their cabs get cancelled last moment which increases the delays as well as the quality of service also decreases. They also sometimes get drivers which are rude but the payment system is clear. You are charged, what is displayed but they sometimes take long routes to the destination to increase their charges in an indirect way.

Carzonrent

Carzonrent

Carzonrent is a much better service and has launched its mobile booking application solving a lot of problems.

The dashboard for the user is really nice and they provide you to edit personal information, set your favorite destinations where you can directly reserve and also the service by which you can view the previous reservations you had done through the application which is really nice and makes it transparent than other companies in the market today.
