We recently used this new service by Meru Cabs, you book cabs on the app in case you need one in the next 15 minutes. As of now, you cannot book for later. And for the first ride, they give you Rs.150 off - good launch offer. And unlike Uber, you don't need a compulsory Paytm account. You can pay by cash after your journey, although you have an option of wallet too - but I haven't tried that.
The booking was pretty easy and simple - the app downloaded within minutes, it picked up our current location automatically - I did not even switch on the gps, we just searched for the place we wanted to go to through the map, it asked which type cab we wanted to book, and voila! Its done. Initially we had entered a time for later, so immediately the call centre called us up to confirm.
We booked twice through the app - first time, the cab arrived in the scheduled 15 minutes, maybe a few minutes earlier. Second time, it was raining and there was traffic, so it took the cab around 25-30 minutes to reach. But the app has a - track my cab - gps map based help feature. So you know exactly where your cab is and how fast it is going to reach. Overall, the app is good.
