How It Works

Users, both riders and drivers, can register into the Apps via Email, Facebook, Linkedin or Gmail Account and add their contact and personal info.

In order to keep personal info secured and to avoid registering of fake profiles we provide a two-step verification process. Riders and Drivers will need to verify their Mobile Numbers via OTP received by SMS and also their email accounts via verification link sent to their email account.

A quick & user friendly way to access all features of the apps. Wallet Balance will show on top along with the Settings icon.

Rider selects his Pickup Location, Destination Address (optional), selects Car Type, Payment Mode & Requests a Driver. The Rider can type the Pickup Location and Destination Address (optional) or can manually drag & pin them on the Map. Rider then needs to select the Car Type from the available Car Types and also the Mode of Payment (Cash or Credit Card). Upon this the Approximate Fare for the trip will be shown. An animated arrow line will show up from the pickup point till location when the start and destination address is set.

Riders may opt not to enter the destination address before booking a ride or may want to change the destination address while they are already on trip inside the car.

Each time a Rider changes the destination, the Driver has right to reject or accept it. Once the Driver is on-line, the System will be able to send him ride requests made by the riders in his range. If a driver has more than one car, he will get an option to select the Car he is going to drive now.

Once the Ride Request button is clicked by Rider, the request is immediately submitted in the App and is sent to all the Drivers in the Range of X Miles/KM’s.

All the Drivers in the range of X Miles/KM’s will receive a notification on their mobile with a countdown screen. They will have option to Accept or Reject/Ignore the incoming ride Request. They will also see the Pickup Location & Destination Address of the requested ride before they can accept the ride.

As soon as the Driver accepts the ride, he will see rider’s pickup location on Map. Then he will drive to the pickup location and mark the status as “Arrived”.
The Driver can view the Rider’s detail and can also contact via SMS or phone call if he wants to ask for directions, etc.
Once the Driver accepts the ride, Rider will see Driver’s Detail on screen and see that he is coming to pick him & can also track driver on the map.
Rider can also Call or SMS Driver, Share the Ride detail on Social Networks or Cancel the Trip if he wants to.

Driver will mark ride status as “Arrived” once he has arrived to the pickup location. A notification will show up on the screen as soon as the Driver has arrived at the pickup location.

Driver can Slide the button to start the Trip once the Rider is in the car and ready for the trip. At this point, the Rider will receive a notification that the Trip has begun.

In-case of emergency or any unfortunate event, the Driver or Rider can contact police on a single click or can click on send message button. Upon this, their exact location with help message will be sent to their 5 contacts.

• When the Rider wants to stop the ride in the middle of the trip, they can ask the driver to “Pause” the ride in the middle of the trip. During this “pause” time, the Rider will be charged a separate waiting fee.
• This means that the trip charge and the waiting charge will be calculated separately and then added cumulatively in the invoice at the end of the trip.
• This gives the users fair and unbiased billing each time a trip has been put on hold.

The Driver can restart the Trip once Rider is back in the vehicle. The Rider will get a notification that his Trip has been resumed.

Once the vehicle has reached the destination, the Driver can slide the button to end the trip. Upon this, the Rider will see in-app notification that the Trip is completed.
