Booking Policy & Closing Settlements

Office-to-Office Odo Meter and Hours
We charge Kilometers and Timings from our Office-to-Office.
1) Outstation Rental: The Odo meter will be "started from our office - to your first pickup point - to destination - return to your last drop point - and close it at our office". Similary the closing time also depends, wherein if you close the trip by exactly or near to 10PM, still the NIGHT DRIVER BATA will be applicable, as the Cab & Driver need to return to office to close the trip which will take another 45-60 mins after your trip. If you want to avoid such scenarios, we would recommend or suggest you to close the trip atleast by 9:30 PM and the Night Driver Bata can be avoided
2) Local Rental : Office-to-Office Kilometeres charged for both Opening & Closing. Although, the "timings" will be started from Customer place only. Which means, the 8 hours will be started from your place immediately once the cab reports at your place and closes at your place itself.
3) Airport Transfer's : Please be informed that we are not local point-to-point cab operators and so we charge round trip for any Airport Pickup/Drop. We charge from "our office - to your pickup point - to your drop point - to our office", and so the cost will vary based on your location and the distance from our office. We charge a very fixed sum of amount, which will be informed to you while requesting the cab itself rather than confusing our customers with "Minimum rental for "x" kms and then charge per km added with per minute drive cost etc"
Driver Food & Stay
Although we dont ask our Customer's to pay for our Drivers Food & Stay, but atleast ensure they are given enough time to take care of themselves. Drivers should get access to basic amenities to get fresh etc, when you stay at Hotels/Resorts/Home Stays or atleast give them time to find out themselves. Driver spending time for his food, filling fuel for the cab etc are part of the trip and not considered seperately.
Note: From our past experience's, we seriously feel bad that customers raise concern on driver stopping for food etc. Please be informed they by earning 300/- batta per day for 6am to 10pm duty they cant afford to have food where you can eat, so they will find some viable places and may stop for 20-30 mins for Brekfast/Lunch/Dinner break's.
Communication with Driver's
Keep the Driver's informed about your day to day travel plan or itenerary while you are on outstation trip and accordingly driver's will be prepared and take you places. Since we are into out-and-out tourist segment, most of our drivers are carrying minimum 2 years of travel experience and customers are suggested to take their suggestions regarding the roads to travel, places to visit etc rather than browsing google or asking somebody else around.There can be chances of "No Network" or "No Signal" while you are on trip in few low network coverage areas/cities and in such cases if the Driver number is not reachable or not getting connected due to network issues, calling Hire Innova Office will not help you in anyway. We suggest our customer's to have a clear understanding with our drivers on "where to park" or "where to pick" etc to avoid any such communication issues.
