- Would it be possible to book a taxi in advance? If so how many days in advance?
Yes, you can. You can book a cab or taxi up to 8 days in advance from your date of travel
- I want to travel out of Gujarat. How many cities are covered under your cab services?
Currently, we operate in 50+ cities – that is more than 100 routes.
- What is a one-way trip?
A one-way trip is when you book a taxi with us to travel to another city from your current city. Say you want to travel from Vadodara to Ahmedabad, but won’t be coming back to Vadodara on the same day. The travel from Vadodara to Ahmedabad would be a one-way trip. Unlike other cab services, we don’t charge to and fro for a one-way trip.
- What do you mean by roundabout trip?
When you travel from one city to another and return to the current city the same day from the other city, it construes as roundabout trip. So if you are traveling from Vadodara to Surat by our taxi and return to Vadodara the same day from Surat in the same cab that would be roundabout trip. Roundabout trips are one-day trips. So if you travel from Vadodara to Surat, say today but will be returning to Vadodara the next day or after two days in the same cab, that would be a special package trip and not a roundabout trip. In case you want to return the next day, you can always book a taxi on the next date of travel from The Quick Cab.

The reasons could be natural calamities such as heavy rains, storms, floods, earthquakes, etc. It could also happen due to the cab getting caught in traffic blockades, or road repair due to which roads are inaccessible.

If the trip was pre-paid, we will refund the entire amount to your bank account without deducting cancellation charges.
