Chennai to Pondicherry via ECR is one of the most beautiful drives in South India. TaxiBazaar driver was excellent, stopped at Mahabalipuram briefly. Fixed fare, all tolls included.
Weekend trip from Chennai to Pondicherry. Driver suggested the ECR route over NH — much more scenic. Comfortable sedan, fixed pricing. Will always pre-book.
Booked Innova Crysta from Chennai to Pondicherry for family of 6. Driver was patient at Auroville, waited while we explored. Excellent TaxiBazaar service.
