Platform fee
Our pricing is based on fairness to drivers. We only charge the drivers if the platform benefits them.
You keep your entire meter fare. Nagara charges only a small, fixed technology fee — and it is charged only after a ride is completed. There is no advance payment, no deposit, and nothing is ever deducted from your fare automatically.
What you pay per ride
Section titled “What you pay per ride”A small fixed fee per completed ride — it does not change with the distance or fare of the ride. The same fee applies to app (online) rides and Meter rides.
| Vehicle | Fee per ride |
|---|---|
| Auto / Qute | ₹3 |
| Cab / SUV | ₹10 |
When you pay nothing
Section titled “When you pay nothing”You are not charged in these cases:
- Short rides — any ride under 2.2 km or under 3 minutes is free.
Daily charge limits
Section titled “Daily charge limits”App ride fees have a daily cap so charges never pile up, no matter how many rides you take. Limits reset every day.
App (online) rides
Section titled “App (online) rides”| Vehicle | Daily charge limit |
|---|---|
| Auto / Qute | ₹15 |
| Cab / SUV | ₹50 |
Meter rides
Section titled “Meter rides”Only the first completed meter ride of the day is charged. Every other meter ride that day is free.
When and how you pay
Section titled “When and how you pay”- Fees are never charged before or during a ride.
- After your rides, the fees add up into a single pending total.
- You pay this total later, whenever you like, through the payment link in the app (UPI or card).
- Your ride earnings are yours — nothing is taken from them automatically.
Example day
Section titled “Example day”You drive an Auto and take app rides all day:
- Ride 1 (5 km): ₹3 fee
- Ride 2 (8 km): ₹3 fee
- Ride 3 (3 km): ₹3 fee
- Ride 4 (10 km): ₹3 fee
- Ride 5 (6 km): ₹3 fee → you have now reached the ₹15 daily charge limit for app rides
- Rides 6, 7, 8 … : ₹0 for the rest of the day (app rides)
- A short 1.5 km drop anytime: ₹0 (under 2.2 km)
Total app-ride fees for the day: ₹15 maximum, paid later — never in advance.
On the same day, if you also take meter rides:
- First meter ride: ₹3 (Auto / Qute)
- All other meter rides that day: ₹0
App-ride fees and meter-ride fees are counted separately — reaching the app-ride daily charge limit does not affect whether your meter rides are charged, and vice versa.
