MakeMyTrip.com (MMT) will offer taxi bookings on its portal.
The online travel agent has entered into a partnership with Bengaluru-based online taxi aggregator TaxiForSure.com to push its car booking section. TaxiForSure offers local point to point taxis, airport transfers, half-day/full-day packages and outstation packages. Besides regular taxis, it also provides booking for luxury cars like Rolls Royce Phantom, Hummer, Limousines, Jaguar, Audi A6, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S class, among others.
“We are positioning our product as probably the best in terms of value for money via MMT. It is a win-win for both where they get the cheapest inventory and we get access to their customers,” Aprameya Radhakrishna, Founder and Director for TaxiForSure.com told the Techcircle.
On being asked if TaxiForSure is looking at similar partnerships with other major online travel agents, Radhakrishna said, “MakeMyTrip is very keen to promote its car section with this partnership. We are open to a tie-up with other players as well but it depends on their market strategy as well.”
TaxiForSure is backed by Accel Partners, Helion Venture Partners and Blume Ventures from whom it raised an undisclosed amount last year. In conversation with Techcircle earlier, Radhakrishna had disclosed that the start-up is doing around 800-900 bookings a day in Bengaluru
