Other than the discounts that Ola cabs directly offers, what we can do is to book cabs using their partner apps. Ola has been partnering with travel, entertainment, digital payments start-ups, Indian railways and city metros from past one year.

Each partner provides unique set of offers to their users if cabs are booked through their platform. Let's see one by one.
