Autos aggregator Autohona.com providing A hassle free commuting service in Hyderabad

Living in Hyderabad we all know the pain of travelling by public transport, especially autos. For me, the thought of travelling by an auto itself is dreadful. Travelling by auto and getting an auto in Hyderabad is an art in itself – first, stand on the road and wait for an empty auto to arrive. You will have to try your best to make it stop. Then, plead the auto driver to agree to take you to your destination and then, comes the most important part – bargaining. You say the driver to go by the meter, while the driver simply says, “meter kharab hai, chalna hai toh chalo”. Reluctantly you will have to agree to the driver or look for another one, provided you have the time and patience for repeat another round of all this.

But, what if someone takes all the pain out of this entire process and brings an auto to your doorstep? Sat thanks to this amazing startup autohona.com that removes the hassle of finding an auto.

“We are a young and energetic company based out of Hyderabad. Nothing excites us more than using technology to bring the same efficiency and customer experience to auto rental that you expect from cabs! So, Auto-hona?” says one of the co-founders of this startup.

This firm went live in August 2014, and since then there has been no looking back. The main aim of the Autohona team is to connect autos with customers. All the customer has to do is answer three simple questions pertaining to their drive over the phone and the company will confirm their booking within 10 minutes. Autohona has a dedicated backend team which does all the bargaining work on behalf of the customer and gets the best price to both the autos and to the passenger.

“The idea is to help passengers engage an auto without haggling and bargaining. We understand that most auto drivers pay rents to the owners of the vehicles leading them to fleecing clients. We keep these factors in mind before we fix a rate that is mutually agreeable to the passenger and auto driver,” Says the head of Operations, Mr. Shashank, who along with Mr. Harsha vardhan and Mr. Mohan Kuldeep pioneered this service in the city.
The auto drivers register with this firm and then depending on their location and the destination of the customer, the drivers are contacted by the team of Autohona to reach the pickup location of the passenger at the specified time. The passenger can ride in the auto, and is not expected to pay anything extra than the pre – fixed fare of travel.

If a passenger wants doorstep pick-up we levy an extra charge of Rs. 15 keeping in mind the extra distance that the auto driver has to go. Also, as per government regulations in heavy traffic conditions the auto driver must be paid 1.5 times the meter charge just like in night fares. Few people are aware of this,” says Mohan Kuldeep, who developed the technology.

The firm ensures full safety of the passengers. The company makes sure that it calls up the driver as well as the customer after an hour of the ride, to check if he/she has reached their destination without any trouble. “We are planning to set up a number exclusively for women where we will track the auto ferrying them and in case of any deviation an automatic alarm will be triggered at the police control room,” says Harsha.

Today, Autohona has partnered with over 20,000 autos and has an average of one booking per minute. The founders have established a full proof base with a well handled team, and are looking for expansions. They wish to be one of the best auto service provider’s within the city for the benefit of the auto drivers and the customers.
