Taking a taxi from Pune to Shirdi is a great alternative to driving there yourself or using public transportation. However, most people don’t realize just how much better it could be. There are five main reasons to use a taxi service, including dependability, affordability, availability, convenience and decent drivers.
Dependability
It is important to understand that public transportation can be late or slow, so you are not guaranteed to be at your destination on time. The same can also be true with driving your own vehicle or renting, especially if you are unfamiliar with the Shirdi area. You are likely to get lost or get stuck in traffic. While taxis can also get stuck in traffic, drivers usually know the problem areas and can either get past them quickly or find a different and quicker route. The taxi will also be there when it is promised, so you are not waiting.
Affordability
It can be difficult to consider a taxi as affordable, but when you factor in the expenses of owning a vehicle or renting one to drive, the affordability factor goes way up. While you are still required to pay by the km from Pune to Shirdi, you are not required to pay for maintenance on the vehicle, such as flat tires, oil changes and other servicing needs, so you only pay for the time you need. Likewise, you are not required to have insurance because the taxi service will already have insurance.
If you were to drive your own vehicle or rent one, you are usually responsible for insurance, gasoline and more.
Availability
It is important that you have transportation when it is needed and cabs are usually available 24 hours a day, if required. Therefore, you have a cab available when you need one and can do your traveling safely and in style.
Convenience
Whether you want to reserve your taxi online or call to set up a pick-up time and area, you have the convenience of a cab whenever you want one. There is also the convenience from not having to drive yourself.
Drivers
While you may live in Pune and travel to Shirdi for business or other reasons, most people hate the drive or may not be experienced enough to enjoy the drive. Drivers from a taxi service have had many years of driving through those areas and won’t get lost. They are careful and professional, as well.
