As a part of the millennial generation, we have come to experience an entirely changed idea of traveling, making life much easier for people. From daily work commute to holiday travels, we now have the option of booking a ride at our fingertips, thanks to cab services like Uber, Ola, etc. Major metros around India have woken up to this newfangled trend of commuting and happily so. Besides the most populated cities like Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru, major cities in south India like Chennai has taken on the trend with its intra and intercity cab services, creating more opportunities for local tourism.

However, the best fares, best on-road services, and outstanding customer support are no more the ultimate benchmarks that define a ‘good cab service’. Because, this is the age of ‘user experience’, where every customer wants that ‘little extra’ from a service and makes traveling more special than simply commuting.

DropTaxi

Targeted specifically for southern states, this cab service operates across all major cities and towns across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Kerala. The Chennai-based cab service has been operational since 2014 and has already managed to cater to more than 50000 customers in and around the city. Their USP (unique sales proposition) lies in the fact that despite being a local company (unlike the bigger players), they do not charge two-way fares for a one-way trip, which is usually the case for local car rentals, helping their customers save up to 40% of their travel fare.

While there are plenty of options for intercity rides in and from Chennai, finding the right ride makes for one of the most essential criteria for a memorable road trip! Because, in the end, it is indeed all about the journey.

Savaari

This 12-year old car rental company has evolved into one of the trendiest cab services in the country. With over 6500 destinations and 220 miles covered across its years of existence, Savaari Car Rental stands up to the competition of other cab service giants. While most of the operational aspects are pretty similar to any other cab service, Savaari steals the show with their linguistically skilled drivers who can converse in regional languages and also the 24×7 call center support. While travelling, language barriers pose a major problem for travelers and Savaari manages to address this pertinent pain point. Their booking process is quite hassle-free and most issues can be resolved with a call to the helpdesk. Following the booking confirmation, travelers also get a ‘travel kit’ which lays out the comprehensive details about their journey, interesting pit stops, places for food breaks, and sightseeing they can do at the destination.

Uber

A global transportation giant, Uber has democratized the entire concept of road travel in India. With a mobile app-based service, travelers can avail their choice of ride, type of vehicle, round the clock. Easy payments, cancellation, 24X7 customer support, and plenty of intercity destinations to choose from, Uber remains one of the most preferred services in Chennai.

Ola

What started in 2010 as an intra-city cab service, has grown to become one of the major players in the radio cab space. Ola offers both a web-based and a mobile app service to book a cab and manage your booking, payments etc. In recent years, they also introduced intercity travel with the added facility of a one-way trip. Furthermore, they allow travelers to book a week in advance, and choose from economy, mid-range, or luxury travel options.

GetMeCabs

This radio cab service operates across 25 cities and 4000 towns. Travelers can choose from a wide fleet of vehicles ranging from economy to mid-range, and luxury. They are popular for their transparent pricing and round-the-clock customer support across calls and live chats. They also provide on-road assistance during a breakdown or an accident, which adds to their popularity.
