1. Understand Common Cancellation Policies

Most taxi/rental services (especially wedding or event-based) include:

Timing of Cancellation Typical Charge
> 48 hours in advance Usually free or small admin fee (~₹200–₹500)
24–48 hours in advance 10–30% of the booking amount
< 24 hours or same-day 50–100% of total fare (non-refundable)

Note: For wedding cars or luxury rentals (Audi, BMW, etc.), same-day cancellations usually forfeit the full booking fee, especially if the vehicle was decorated.
