Pune Taxi Fares Explained
Taxi fares in Pune are set by the Regional Transport Authority, which fixes a minimum charge for the first 1.5 km and a per-kilometre rate beyond that for metered taxis. The same tariff is also cited for app-based cabs, and the Regional Transport Office has fined drivers who overcharge riders.
A government-backed app service called Bharat Taxi launched across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad in August 2026, offering fixed RTO-approved fares that do not change with demand. Auto-rickshaw and motorcycle taxi fares are separate from car taxi fares, each with their own approved per-kilometre structure.

About Taxis in Pune 🚕
Pune's classic metered taxis include black-and-yellow cabs and air-conditioned Cool Cabs, which follow the RTA-approved tariff in force since January 2024. Private aggregators Ola and Uber also operate across the city, while the newer government-backed Bharat Taxi app provides sedans and SUVs at fixed RTO fares and has started a Pune-Mumbai intercity route.
Pune Airport (PNQ) at Lohegaon has a prepaid taxi counter outside arrivals that sets fixed fares by destination zone, commonly running a few hundred rupees into the city centre. Prepaid fares to areas such as Shivajinagar, Deccan and Camp are generally lower than outlying IT zones like Hinjewadi, and app-based cabs can be cheaper than prepaid taxis in normal hours. Cool Cab vehicles are limited in number and concentrated around the airport and major stands, so booking through apps or the prepaid counter is the most reliable way to get a ride.
Tips for Taxi Riders
- Always check if the meter is running before your ride starts.
- Carry small change in the local currency for convenience.
