Yatri Car Rental, an innovative app and web-based intercity car rental start up based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, has officially launched its dedicated one-way cab service across six major metro cities in Uttar Pradesh. The launch marks a significant step towards organizing India’s largely unorganized intercity car rental market, offering a transparent, affordable, and safe alternative to traditional travel options.
The new service is currently operational in Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Allahabad (Prayagraj), Ayodhya, and Kanpur.
The intercity car rental sector in India has long been dominated by local taxi operators, leaving passengers to face numerous challenges. Common issues include paying for a full round trip even when traveling one-way, leading to double the cost, and the widespread practice of odometer tampering by drivers, resulting in fraudulent and inflated billing.
Yatri Car Rental directly addresses these pain points with its core philosophy, “Return Fare, Not Fair.” The company is introducing a unique proposition by charging only for the one-way journey, effectively halving the cost for passengers. This one-way fare is positioned to be more economical than even AC bus and AC train tickets, making private car travel accessible to a much broader audience.
In a pioneering move, Yatri Car Rental is also introducing India’s first GPS-based billing system for intercity travel. This ground-breaking technology eliminates the possibility of meter tampering and ensures complete transparency. The travel distance is calculated directly on the application using GPS satellite connectivity, with zero dependency on the vehicle’s odometer or an internet connection. This provides passengers with accurate, hassle-free billing and complete peace of mind on every journey.
“Our vision is to bring structure and reliability to the fragmented intercity car rental market,” said a spokesperson for Yatri Car Rental. “We saw a clear need to solve for the two biggest problems faced by travellers: high return fares for one-way trips and dishonest billing practices. With our one-way pricing model and innovative GPS-based billing, we are not just offering a service—we are offering a new standard of trust and convenience.”

- Cost-Effective: One-way fares that are cheaper than AC bus and train tickets.
