“The cab arrangement was simple, with the pickup point, driver details, and route shared before travel. The Srinagar Airport Drop arrangement was convenient and removed the need to negotiate transport again during the trip. One detail that stood out was that the route was adjusted sensibly when traffic became heavier. For friends travelling together, the cab gave us useful flexibility for meals and photo stops. We were satisfied with the punctuality, vehicle comfort, and straightforward communication throughout the trip.”
