Dial an Auto

How it works?

• Dial 9922904000 and place a request one hour in advance.

• A request is then generated and the same is conveyed to the auto drivers in that particular area. Once the auto-driver confirms his availability, the details of the driver along with the vehicle number are sent via SMS to the customer. 

• All the rickshaws are tracked with the help of GPRS, to assure your safety.

• Commuters are also given the estimation of the distance and travel time based on the online maps with a little variations considering traffic and weather conditions.
