Why Universe Drop Taxi

A taxi company that picks up the phone

We're a Chennai outfit, based in Tirusulam right next to the airport. Most of our work is one-way drops: people going home for a festival, students heading back to college, families travelling for a hospital appointment, and business travellers who'd rather not spend a night on a bus.

What we try to get right is the boring stuff. The car turns up on time. It's clean. The driver has done the route before and drives like your family is in the back. The fare we quote on the phone is the fare on the bill. If something goes wrong on the road, we send another car.

Drivers with 5+ years on the roadUniformed, polite and familiar with Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra highways.
Fixed per-km pricingNo surge, no night charge, no “AC extra”. Toll and parking at actuals.
Backup vehicleIf a car breaks down mid-trip, we arrange a replacement as fast as we can.
Small touchesDrinking water in the car, and we wait patiently while you load the luggage.

Questions people ask us

What is a drop taxi?

A drop taxi is a one-way outstation cab. You pay for the distance from your pickup to your destination plus driver bata, and nothing for the driver's trip back. It's usually far cheaper than booking a round trip when you're not coming back the same day.

How much does a drop taxi from Chennai cost?

One way: sedan ₹15/km, SUV ₹19/km, Innova ₹20/km and the 12+1 seater Force Urbania ₹50/km. Driver bata is ₹500–₹600 a day for cars and ₹1,000 for the Urbania. Chennai to Bangalore in a sedan, for example, comes to about ₹5,700 plus toll.

Are you available 24 hours?

Yes. Call +91 81481 43253 or WhatsApp us at any hour. Night and early-morning pickups are normal for us, especially for flights and long drives.

Do I need to pay in advance?

For most trips, no. You pay at the end of the journey by cash or UPI. For long multi-day bookings and the Urbania we may ask for a small advance to block the vehicle.

Which places do you cover?

We pick up anywhere in Chennai and from towns across Tamil Nadu, and drop anywhere in South India: Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Can I book a vehicle for a group?

Yes. The Innova and Crysta seat 7. For 8 to 12 people, the Force Urbania is the comfortable choice, with individual reclining seats, roof AC and luggage space.
