Across Chennai
Rylod works across Chennai — Central and Egmore, the CMBT at Koyambedu, T. Nagar and Anna Nagar, and the suburbs at Tambaram, Porur, Ambattur and Avadi. Autos take the short city runs; the airport at 19 km from Central, or a trip out to Tambaram, goes by cab. Chennai autos are governed by a 2013 state fare order, and the rate Rylod suggests follows it.
Neighbourhoods across the city and the areas around it. Wherever Rylod drivers are near you, you can book. If your local auto or call-taxi driver isn't on Rylod yet, ask them to join — then book them in two taps from My Drivers.
