Tolls, parking and interstate permits are charged at actuals. Popular routes include Hyderabad–Srisailam, Hyderabad–Warangal and Hyderabad–Tirupati.
How does One Way cab pricing work?
One-way drops are billed per kilometre for the distance actually travelled — you do not pay for the cab's return journey. Share your pickup city and destination and we quote a fixed one-way fare inclusive of fuel; tolls and permits are at actuals.
What are the Hourly cab rental rates?
Hourly rentals start from 2 hours and are ideal for meetings, errands and shopping runs across the city. Rates follow the vehicle class — hatchback, sedan, SUV or van — and your confirmation states the hourly rate plus the extra-hour and extra-km rate, so extending the rental mid-trip is simple.
Are tolls, parking and taxes included in the fare?
Local and airport fares include the vehicle, driver and fuel for the quoted hours and kilometres. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are charged at actuals and are always disclosed before you confirm the booking.
Is there a night charge or driver allowance?
Trips running between 10 PM and 6 AM, and outstation trips with an overnight stay, carry a driver allowance. The exact amount is quoted upfront — there are no surprise additions at the end of the trip.
How are extra hours and kilometres billed?
Beyond your booked package, extra hours and kilometres are billed at the rate quoted at booking time (for example, a sedan beyond 8 hrs / 80 km is billed per extra hour and per extra km). Your confirmation message always states these rates.
Booking Steps
How to book a cab with HydCabs.com, and how quickly it can be confirmed.
How do I book a cab in Hyderabad with HydCabs.com?

How much advance notice do you need?
For city rides and airport transfers we usually confirm within 30 minutes, even at short notice. For outstation trips and large vehicles (Tempo Traveller, Force Urbania), booking a day in advance is recommended.
How do I book a Local cab package?
Share your pickup point, date, start time and whether you need 8 hrs / 80 km or 12 hrs / 120 km. We confirm the vehicle and driver, and your driver reports at your doorstep — no advance needed for city packages; pay at the end of the trip.
How do I plan a Sightseeing cab booking?
Tell us your group size and the places you want to cover (or pick our Charminar–Golconda–Salar Jung full-day route). We suggest the right vehicle, share a fixed package quote, and your driver follows the itinerary with parking and timing handled.
How do I book an Airport Drop or Pickup?
For drops, share your pickup address, date and flight departure time — we recommend a pickup time with buffer for traffic. For pickups, share your flight number and landing time; we track the flight and the driver waits at arrivals. Available 24x7, including pre-dawn drops and midnight pickups.
How do I book an Outstation cab?
Share your destination, travel dates and group size. We quote the per-km rate, estimated total including driver allowance and tolls, and confirm the vehicle — a small advance secures multi-day trips. Booking a day ahead is recommended.
How do I book a One Way cab?
Give us your pickup city, destination and date. We quote a fixed one-way fare for the actual distance with no return charge, then assign a driver who picks you up and drops you at your destination — you pay only for the journey travelled.
How do I book an Hourly cab rental?
Tell us your start time, pickup point and how many hours you need (minimum 2). We confirm an hourly rate by vehicle class; you can extend by the hour mid-trip at the rate in your confirmation.
What details do I need to provide when booking?
Your name, phone number, pickup location, drop location or itinerary, date and time, and preferred vehicle type (hatchback, sedan, SUV or van). For airport pickups, your flight number helps us track landing time.
Cancellations & Changes
How to cancel or modify a booking, and what it costs.
How do I cancel my cab booking?
Call or WhatsApp +91 80083 33708 with your booking details. Cancellations made up to 4 hours before pickup for city rides (24 hours for outstation trips) are free.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Cancellations inside the free window cost nothing. Late cancellations — within 4 hours of a city ride or 24 hours of an outstation trip — may attract a nominal fee to cover the assigned driver's commitment. The fee, if any, is always stated in your booking confirmation.
Can I change my pickup time or route after booking?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp or call as early as possible and we will adjust the schedule or route. Fare changes, if any, are confirmed with you before the trip starts.
What if my flight is delayed or lands early?
Nothing to do on your side — we track your flight and adjust the airport pickup automatically. Free waiting is included for arrivals, so a delayed landing costs you nothing extra.
Payments
How and when you pay for your ride.
What payment methods do you accept?
UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), cash to the driver, and bank transfer for corporate and multi-day bookings. Payment details are shared in your booking confirmation.
Do I need to pay in advance?
Most city and airport rides need no advance — you pay at the end of the trip. For outstation and multi-day bookings, a small advance confirms the vehicle; the balance is paid as per the schedule in your quote.
Do you provide GST invoices for business travel?
Yes. Share your GST details at booking time and we email a GST invoice after trip completion, suitable for company reimbursement.
Is there any hidden charge at the end of the trip?
No. Your quote lists the package rate, extra-hour/km rates, tolls, driver allowance and any night charge before you confirm. The final bill matches the quote unless you extend the trip.
