"Expanding our @Olacabs Prime Plus service today to Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad. Excited to have more people experience it! Our Bengaluru Prime Plus trial has been hugely successful.

What is Ola Prime Plus?

With this ‘premium’ facility, Ola says it aims to provide an ‘enhanced and hassle-free experience’ to passengers. To this end, Prime Plus has several impressive features, including ‘zero cancellations’; i.e., a ride once booked cannot be cancelled by the driver.

The service was announced on May 28; the same day, it went live for select passengers in Bengaluru. Starting July 10, it became available for all customers in the metropolis.
