How to Book Ola Cabs Using Mobikwik?

Booking a cab is becoming second nature for most of us these days, isn’t it? Be it an upward or downward short trip to work or be it to reach the airport on time or that lovely cozy café downtown, services like Ola Cabs have made our life so much easier. But did you know you could book and settle for your Ola rides even using Mobikwik, the trusted digital wallet? If you are not so sure of what you have to do or want a step-by-step guide, no problem—count me in. Let’s just get into this together, friends chatting over a cup of coffee.

Why Use Mobikwik for Ola Rides?

But before we go into much depth, let me tell you why I started using Mobikwik to book ride Ola: for me, convenience is king. I hate juggling between different apps for payments; Mobikwik does the job perfectly. Not to mention the offers! Cashback or discount – who doesn’t love those? I saved quite a lot by choosing the right payment method over the years.

The Prerequisites: What You Need

Alright, before we get started, you’ll need a few things prepared. Don’t worry, though – it’s nothing fancy:

Ola App: First of all, you have to ensure that the Ola app is downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Mobikwik App: Now, download and setup the Mobikwik app if you haven’t already. You will have to attach the app to your bank account or load money into the wallet.
Active Internet Connection: This one’s obvious, but you’d be surprised how many times I’ve struggled with patchy networks when booking rides!

If you’re all set, let’s move to the fun part.

Step 1: Open the Ola App

Here’s the picture: it’s a bright morning, and I have to go to a meeting across town. First, I pick up my phone and click on the Ola app. The app’s home screen is pretty self-explanatory-keeping me posted about where I currently am on the map. If you haven’t registered for Ola, don’t worry-it’s just for a name, phone number, and an email.

Step 2: Enter Your Destination

Once you open the app, you will see a search bar asking, “Where to?” You can enter your destination. I was going to some friend’s place last week for a birthday party. I typed in “Green Park, Delhi” into the bar and voilà; the application showed me all the ride options available to me.

You will have choices such as Mini, Prime, Auto, or Rentals, depending on your location. Choose what you like best. As for me, I prefer Ola Mini most of the time as it is budget-friendly and gets the job done.

Step 3: Check the Fare and Payment Options

This is where things get interesting. Before confirming the ride, Ola will show you the estimated fare. Now, you tap on the “Payment” option-this is where Mobikwik comes into play.

If you haven’t added Mobikwik as a payment method yet, here is okay. Just do the following:

Tap on Add Payment Method.
Select Mobikwik Wallet from the options.
You will be prompted to log in to your Mobikwik account. Just enter your credentials and you are done.

Step 4: Book Your Ride

Once you have connected your Mobikwik account, head back to the booking page and tap that enticing “Confirm” button. The app shall match you with a driver, with whose location you can track in real-time. Isn’t it satisfying to see them inch closer towards your pick-up point? Or is that just me?

Step 5: Pay with Mobikwik

Now, here’s the magic moment. Once you complete your ride, the payment screen opens automatically. Because you already have Mobikwik linked with the app, it automatically deducts the fare from your wallet. No cash, no cards; no hassle at all.

And guess what? Sometimes, you may receive a message like this: “Congratulations! You’ve earned ₹50 cashback on your Mobikwik payment.” Trust me; it’s like hitting the jackpot.

My Personal Experience: A Story Worth Sharing

I’d like to share a little story here. Some months back, I was running late for the train. It so happened that I realized at the last minute that I had not enough cash and my debit card was also playing pranks on me. Panic started to creep in. Then I recalled that I have some money in my Mobikwik wallet.

I quickly booked an Ola cab, added my Mobikwik account, and managed to reach the station just in time. That was it, though. And by that very instance, I trusted digital wallets completely. This is life, after all – little conveniences here and there, right?

Common Issues and How to Solve Them

Okay, let’s move on to the hiccups. Technology, amazing as it is, isn’t always smooth sailing. Here are a few issues I’ve faced (and how I fixed them):

Insufficient Balance in Mobikwik:

Solution: If your balance is not sufficient then open the Mobikwik app and add funds using your bank account or UPI. It’s fast and effortless.

Payment Failure:

Solution: This happens due to a network issue. Don’t worry; the payment will retry automatically or there is an option given by showing you that you can try again as well. If still it does not happen, Mobikwik’s customer support is quite prompt.

Ride Not Confirming:

Solution: Sometimes, the app might take longer to confirm a ride, especially during peak hours. Be patient, or try switching between ride categories (e.g., Auto to Mini).
Pro Tips to Enhance Your Experience

Here are some nuggets of wisdom I’ve picked up over time:

Keep an Eye on Offers: Both Ola and Mobikwik regularly roll out discounts. Check the “Offers” section in the Mobikwik app before booking a ride.
Make Use of SuperCash through Mobikwik: If you have SuperCash in your wallet through Mobikwik, you can use it to avail discounts from the ride fare.
Plan Ahead for Peak Hours: Surge pricing is the real-deal experience, and it can burn a huge hole in your pocket. Booking 10-15 minutes in advance saves a lot.
Save Emergency Contacts: Ola allows you to add emergency contacts who will get updates on your ride. It’s a great safety feature.

Why I Recommend This Combo

Using Ola along with Mobikwik makes me feel as if this is a match made in heaven. Here’s why:

Convenience: Not running around for cash or card swipes.
Savings: A cashback and discount add up in the long run.
Safety: Ola tracks the position and Mobikwik’s secure payments leave me at peace.

I have been using this combination for over two years now, and honestly, I can’t think of going back to the old ways.

Quick Summary for You

Let’s break it down for you: what we have learned about today so far

Open the Ola app and set the destination.
Select Mobikwik as your option for payment.
Confirm the ride and get on.
Pay without much hassle via your Mobikwik wallet.

That’s it!
