Have we said goodbye to the days where we used to stand on street corners trying to spot a taxi to get to our destination on time?
With the popularity of online apps for taxi bookings, it seems like we have certainly left those days behind. For those who are not yet convinced about using technology to book a taxi ride.
Here are 5 Reasons You Should Use Online Apps for Taxi Bookings
Convenience
Online apps make it convenient to book a taxi anytime, anywhere. It is also not necessary for you to have a computer to make a booking as it can be done through your mobile. Even if your plans for the day are not fixed or you need to get to a destination suddenly, make instant bookings through an app. The app also reveals the location of the taxi nearest from your destination and the approximate time it can take to arrive for a pick up.
Flexibility
Online apps for taxi bookings are highly flexible. If you have changed your travel plans suddenly, then you can cancel your booking and rebook another taxi according to the new destination. All this can be done at no extra cost. Gone are those days when a family of about 6 or 7 people had to squeeze themselves in a taxi. Now you have the option of booking a bigger taxi according to your requirement.
Instant Confirmation
Receive your booking confirmation as soon as you book a taxi. You need not talk to a customer service agent as your taxi is booked with a few clicks on the app. Details of the cab, the driver name and contact details are sent to by SMS. You can also be assured that you will not be charged extra for the ride as the location of the taxis are monitored continuously by the taxi companies.This also makes it safe and puts your mind at ease especially when you are trying to find your way in a new city.
Cashless Travel
One advantage of using online apps for taxi bookings is that you do not have to carry cash on hand. Either pay online or if there is money in the online wallet provided by the taxi service site, the amount is deducted from it automatically. Most of these taxi companies also have a no tip policy and do not encourage the practice of tipping the driver. Recharging money in the wallet is a good idea as you do not have to worry even if you do not have ready cash.
Good Deals
Most of the cab services in India offer discounts and deals. A first time user of the mobile app who books a taxi is sure to get an exciting deal. When you refer friends to the app, you stand a chance to earn rewards. From free rides to a flat discount on rides, customers can enjoy these super saver deals. Check out the exclusive coupons and deals on internet that can help you save on taxi bookings.
With an online app you are assured of a taxi ride that comes with offers that are too good to resist.
