I had a chance to use their services in Bangalore recently. The taxi was booked using their mobile app. The estimated bill for droping at Airport was Rs. 417 to Rs. 479/- Reaching at the airport, the charges as per app on driver was Rs. 514/-. To our surprise the driver insisted for Rs. 841/-. Having no other option, the amount was paid as the time for departure of flight was approaching very fast. The complaint was lodged. The experience in complaint redressal compelled me to rate this business as terrible. The company was avoiding the main issue and responding only in stereo type manner. This also compelled me to review the company's performance on public domain and got shocked when I could notce that many such complaints are available on the public domain. A sample of the complaint downloaded from the public domain is reproduced for the information of members recommending not to use such services. This article has been written on my facebook (

I booked Ola taxi on 3rd April for a ride on 4th April Morning 5.20 for travelling between L B Shastry Nagar to Cantonment railway station. I got confirmation message that cabs are available. CRN72487026. Even I got driver and cab details in morning 5 AM. Driver called up and asked about pick up point. I said L B Shastry nagar near HAL. Driver denied that he is at Richmond road and too far to come and pick up. So, he can not come and asked me to look for some other cab. I said should I call call centre to find another cab. He said he will try to come, which was false promise. He never turned...
I have booked ola cab on 9/4/2015 from balanagar to shamirpet. I have booked the cab one day prior and they took the order. When the cab came, the driver, named Rachaiah, was behaving furiously and was constantly talking in a very unpleasant manner and was constantly saying that Ola do not provide any service to Shamirpet. It should be informed us when we booked the cab.The driver was literally harassing us by saying " I am stopping the car, go and take any other transport option". We asked him to turn on the AC, but he refused . He was constantly forcing us to give extra money.He took Rs 500 from...
Hello, Driver demanded 115 for toll charges.. I was aware of their fact that 75 rupees out of my total was towards toll charges. I didn't want to argue with him because I was in a hurry to catch my flight so I paid him the extra 115. Kindly do the needful Thanks Gerald Simon...

Sir, • I had booked OLA cab on 28.3.2015 for going to the domestic airport on 29.3.15 at 4 a.m. I got the message that one driver Mr.Ravinder (Mobile No.9540480663 ) would pick me up at 4 a.m. • On 29.3.2015, I tried calling the driver from 3.50a.m. onwards as there was no confirmation from the cab driver. The driver did not answer my call and the message was that the mobile was either switched off or out of reach. Then out of frustration and mental agony at 4.09a.m. I called your call centre and the executive tried calling the driver, but he also was not able to contact the driver and...

This is so unfair, I feel so cheated, I hope you help me to get my money back, because of all that you will create your negative impact...
Hi, I booked a mini OLA cab from Chennai Central Railway Station to Sholinganallur(Chennai) at 4.30 AM on 6th April. After confirmation through SMS and also talking with customer executive I was supposed to receive the cab on time in early morning 4 .30, but at the time of pick up I received an SMS that my booking is cancelled. This is horrible when you are waiting with your family and child in the early morning and your cab company sends this message. Last time I experienced even more worst scenario when I booked the cab from Sholinganallur to Chennai Central on 29th March at 1.30 pm. I...
Hi, i use Ola auto's and cabs very frequently but on Saturday evening i was very disappointed by the service. I booked an auto for shirgaon from Dange chowk but as that option was not available in the drop point list i selected 'Nigdi'. When the auto driver arrived i told him the drop point and he asked me to pay him the full return amount as the ola service is not available in that Shirgaon. I agreed to pay him. When i reached Shirgaon, the total bill was 230 and so i paid him 460 (return included). The auto driver told me that he will wait for us outside temple and will take us back to Dange...”
