Uber
You must have the application already installed in your smartphone if you’re from the US. Uber serves the same purpose here. A taxi service you can totally rely on. They offer booking cab to pick you up exactly where you are, no need to go through the hassles of directing the cabbie in an unfamiliar land or reaching the receptionist for help. Moreover, the payment can be made easily via the app itself. Uber offers their services in many cities in India for both intracity and out of city rides.
Ola
Ola is another Bengaluru born start-up turned million-dollar enterprise which has a wider reach than Uber in certain locations. If you don’t find Uber check for Ola and vice versa. The speciality about Ola is they also offer auto rickshaw services similar to cabs. Though autorickshaws operate only inside of the city, the bumpy rides on a three-wheeled vehicle letting in the air get you close to the real India road travel. The rates are cheap and you can hire any class of vehicle as per your comfort needs.
Zomato
I think Zomato too needs no much introduction. Popular restaurant and hotel listing platform that also runs a food delivery service which goes by the name “Zomato Orderâ€. You can look for the best restaurants around you, know the menu, pricing, read reviews before deciding to go lip smacking on the local cuisine food. The wide user base for Zomato has made one of the trustable sources for reviews and information on restaurants.
