Drop taxi Padi
One-way drop taxi from Padi, with no return fare
Need a cab from Padi that doesn't charge you for the empty ride back? That's exactly what a drop taxi is. You pay one way, only for the kilometres you travel, and the driver finds his own way home. Most of our Padi bookings are airport runs, early train pickups and long outstation drops.
Around the Padi flyover and the rest of Padi, we usually reach your door 20–40 minutes after you confirm, or right on time for a pre-booked slot.
From the city centre our drivers take whichever exit is quickest for your trip: Poonamallee High Road for Bangalore and Vellore, GST Road for Trichy and Madurai, ECR for Pondicherry and the Kolkata highway for Tirupati.
