Delhi Ola Rental Fare Jumps From ₹1,285 To ₹5,662
A group in Delhi rented an Ola cab for six hours.
The app initially showed a fare of ₹1,285.
They travelled from a hotel in Mahipalpur to Yashobhoomi and then to the airport.
At the airport, they found that the bill had increased to ₹5,662.
The bill included payment for about 240.5 extra kilometres.
The passengers said they did not know why so much extra distance was recorded.
They tried to contact Ola but said support was unavailable because it was the weekend.
Ola has not publicly responded to this specific complaint.
