Road travel becomes easy with Yatra.com launching cabs marketplace
Yatra.com, one of India’s leading online travel portals has launched a cab marketplace with various cab aggregators that would provide cabs across 450 cities in India.

At launch, we have aggregators offering both intra-city hourly cabs and inter-city taxi services. Going forward we will be also tying up with intra-city point to point aggregators, as well as self drive and car pooling options. This new technology feature will help Yatra take the next step in servicing our customers and providing them with solutions to all their travel requirements.”

Travellers can choose one-way, round trip and multi-city trips for outstation cab bookings. The product has options of a large range of cars – hatchbacks, sedans, SUV/MUVs and vans.
