Overview
One-Way and Round Trip, Compared
A one-way outstation taxi drops you at the destination and the booking ends there — no return leg is charged or planned. This suits a flight connection, a wedding you're not returning from the same day, or any trip where you'll head somewhere else afterward.
A round trip keeps the same cab and driver with you for the outbound and return legs, which is usually the better fit for a family holiday, a pilgrimage trip, or any journey where you need the same vehicle waiting at the other end. Round trips are priced as a single booking rather than two separate one-way fares.
Neither option is inherently cheaper — it depends on the route and whether the cab would otherwise have to return empty. CablyCab shows both fares side by side in the booking flow so the comparison is direct rather than a guess.
