Real Stories from Lonavala Travelers
Customer Rating: 4.6/5
“We booked CabBazar's cab for our monsoon weekend from Mumbai. The chauffeur knew all the spots….he took us to Tiger's Leap early morning to avoid the rush, showed us a secret waterfall near Lion's Point, which was not present on any maps, and got us to the real Maganlal Chikki store (and not the tourist ones). The Dzire was very comfortable, even on the slippery ghat roads. At ₹1,650 for a return journey and 2 days, it was totally worth it! Totally recommend it for a monsoon trip!”
- Priya & Rahul, Mumbai
"Last minute booking required for a family of 6, Pune to Lonavala for the weekend. CabBazar arranged Innova in less than 30 minutes!
