Departure time is 6 AM from BIAL - Bangalore, just imagine how much does it cost timewise...!! The same feeling I had a day before dropping my mom to BIAL to catch her Vadodara flight. and we all need to be there at least by 4:30 - 5 AM. I tried to look for BIAL bus services but its totally a risk to catch it from Outer Ring Road at midnight 3 AM..clarification not needed at all for Bangaloreans :)
Well, I called up my friend and they suggested Meru and easy cabs..according to him, meru cabs have a different charges per timings - may be more in midnight and I called easy cabs at 43434343 - nice no to remember...haaa? :) and inquired about required things - at what time they can come to my house, rates, luggage charges etc since I had very bad experience in past reg this to better to have clarification before your journey starts.. they said
charges 24x7 is 15 Rs/km - on a meter basis
NO LUGGAGE charges (hurray...) NO CHARGE PER PERSON (I heard some cabs charge per person..nice joke to hear but fact is fact). I booked a cab for 3 AM and expected call around 2:45 AM, but got a call at 2 AM saying the driver is near by home -WOW!! and reached on time..!! he helped in putting luggages and also good in driving ..It took only 40 minutes to reach airport and I expected he would ask for some tips as generally Bangalore auto wala’s expect and asks always :D but he did not..rather helped a lot in all the manners where it should be..!! He got his tips for the best service and we felt a nice experience as far as transportation is concerned..!!
It took around Rs. 560/- for 37 kms.. Overall best experience with Easycab service and would recommend others also...will prefer that only if need to go midnight. I see most of the reviewers had not good experience but sometimes we have..anyways good luck in reaching BIAL on time with best service...
