I was pleasantly surprised by Savaari Cabs.

The Bangalore Airport pickup /drop were booked for me by an agency in Delhi. Got an SMS in advance and taxi arrived in time (forgot - there was a screw up on the pick up time, but the call centre sorted it out). Return was also efficient, cab driver told me where exactly to stand.

Cars were clean and drivers polite.

My in-laws needed to visit Lucknow and their plan to go there by car just failed due to some reasons. Now they had to visit Lucknow in a Volvo, and then move in this city to two different locations which were quite far from each other.

With own car and driver plan cancellation, they were worried about completing both tasks and getting back the same day, so I was given the work to arrange their movement in Lucknow. Although I had many friends in Lucknow, but when you need them, they are busy or unavailable.

So tried my friend "Google Uncle" and wow, a couple of listings of car rentals from Lucknow. Called up and they were not very promising, one guy needed advance, other was asking for local reference, I hate this attitude.

Then found "savaari.com" in the search. Called them up and inquired about availability, the toll free phone representative was very responsive, was dead sure about pick up and service. As it was evening by then, I quickly ordered an economy cab, paid only the advance of Rs.250/-. Got email Confirmation and printed out the details.

And to my surprise, the cab was up and ready at the requested location. "ON TIME", clean car, generous driver, booking papers etc. The driver took care of my in-laws and after their work, dropped them to the required location. It was a 70 km run only, they allowed 80 km / 8 hours.
clap:

I picked them on return and they had only good things to say about savaari.com services. They asked me how did I arrange this on such a short notice and they being "no interest in internet" types, I said "A friend recommended" which in fact is "Google".

I would strongly recommend these guys, they certainly deserve this post.

This company called Savaari cabs launched some 499 pick up from airport offer. Used them thrice, well enough. In the 4th trip, the driver literally ordered me to come to the pickup point 5. I came. It was a poorly maintained Etios with patches on it's body. Driver didn't start the A/C until I sternly reminded him. No newspaper or mineral water in the car, which was supposed to be there. Extremely rash driving on the Airport Flyover. Wrote an email to the Savaari CC from the car itself. Still haven't got any reply. And that was my last trip with Savaari Cars. Extremely poor.

The fare from Singasandra was only Rs.674/- including toll for an A/C hatchback. Initially, I tried booking through the web, but wasn't able to complete the booking without paying full fare in advance. I didn't want to pay up the full amount before the journey, so dialled their call center and did a booking. They gave a discount of Rs.50/- for advance booking. The booking confirmation SMS came immediately and contained total fare and payment made. The cab details would arrive two hours prior to the pickup time.

I received the cab details by SMS 1 hour 15 minutes prior to the pickup time. But the driver called me and informed that he is far away and won't be able to reach in time. He then assured me that he would inform the call center and arrange another cab for me. The new cab details came around 20 minutes later. They upgraded the cab to a Swift Dzire at no extra cost and the cab driver arrived in time. Since the fare was a flat rate and not distance based, they would take only the shortest route. So had to go via MG road. It was afternoon, there was decent traffic, but could reach the airport in 2 hours. An SMS with the bill amount was received as soon as we reached near the airport terminal. The bill came to Rs.624/- as previously appraised.

For Delhi-Agra-Delhi, I used Savaari.com, the driver turned out to be OK and billing was as listed on their site.

I recently availed Savaari's fixed rate airport pick up and drop service in Delhi. Car arrived well ahead of time for the drop, drove well and safe. The pick up service was patchy as the driver was waiting near the airport to avoid the parking fees, so he started only after I called. I wouldn't vouch for their service - I almost always take Meru for airport drop - but I was satisfied with the Savaari experience.

I can stomach a 10% increase for all the benefits you speak about (most of which are common to local providers you trust), but not this much.

I think it is a 10% premium at the most. Here's one of the times I'd booked an Innova from them. 7 days / 1750 km cost about 25k. A quick google search shows me that outstation charges are pretty much in this range for most operators (if you include the driver, overnight & minimum daily km fees) from the organised segment.
