Cabs and Taxi Services in Pune

The history of cab services in Pune dates back to 2005 when air-conditioned taxis known as Cool Cabs were introduced between Mumbai and Pune. Available in mainly old car models like Fiat, Ambassador and Maruti Omni, these Cool Cabs were easily noticeable in their distinct and silver colours. They became an instant hit with the commuters as the fares were cheaper than other air-conditioned private and tourist cabs.


However, few years later, the popularity of Cool Cabs plummeted as several car rental companies cropped up offering professional cab services for personal and corporate travel. These agencies use the latest luxury models of the car, giving a unique travel experience to the commuters. Most of them offer following competent services:

1. Booking facility through telephone, internet and mobile.
2. Reliable and trained chauffeurs cum tour co-coordinators, who are well-versed in English.
3. GPRS enabled cabs.
4. Prompt and timely customer service.
5. Self-drive facility
6. Assistance in making reservations in hotels.
7. Organizing sightseeing tours.

The cab services in Pune are available round the clock for travelling within and outside the city. If you are a tourist, you can easily locate taxis or cabs outside the airport, railway stations or bus stand. You can also book the taxis in advance by calling up any of the car rental agencies. After booking the cab, you will instantly get the driver and taxi details via SMS on your mobile. So, whether you need a pick up or drop facility from anywhere in Pune be it the airport or railway stations or any other place, the cab services can fulfill all your requirements.
