How do you get more for the minimum?
Combine errands into one booking: several stops booked together count as one trip, so a market run, a hospital visit and a drop at the station can share the same ₹1,000 if the total distance stays inside it.
For a few hours of local running, an hourly or half-day rental may suit you better. See also multi-stop trips.
Do offers apply to the minimum fare?
₹1,000 is the lowest amount for a booking. Offers such as 10% off for booking in advance and the one-way saving are shown on the quote, so you see the final fare, with any offer applied, before you travel.
