Quick Ride, a prominent electric vehicle (EV) cab aggregator based in Bengaluru, has launched dedicated pick-up points at Kempegowda International Airport. This new initiative aims to streamline airport transport for passengers while promoting sustainable travel options in India’s tech hub. This development comes in response to rising demand for affordable, eco-friendly rides and addresses a gap left by recent exits of other EV operators.
Quick Ride Has Dedicated Pick-Up Points To Ease Airport Travel
Quick Ride’s introduction of exclusive pick-up points at both Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2) marks a significant improvement in Bengaluru’s airport transport infrastructure. The dedicated zones offer a convenient and organised space for passengers to board electric taxis without the hassle of overcrowding or delays. This service benefits travellers by reducing wait times and providing a smoother, faster way to connect to the city. The pick-up points are strategically placed for easy access to both terminals, making last-mile connectivity seamless.

Promoting Sustainable And Affordable Travel
Quick Ride’s fleet consists mainly of electric vehicles, including popular models such as the BYD E6, Tata Tigor EV, and MG ZS EV. The company’s focus on EVs aligns with broader environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in rapidly growing urban centres like Bengaluru. According to the official Quick Ride website, passengers can book rides through the mobile app or website, with fares starting from ₹350. This pricing is consistent and transparent, with no surge charges during peak hours or adverse weather conditions, making it an affordable option for travellers.
Filling The Gap Left By Other Operators
The launch of Quick Ride’s airport pick-up zones comes shortly after the exit of electric cab services like BluSmart and Refex eVeelz from Bengaluru’s airport scene. This departure had created a shortage of electric taxis available to passengers, leading to longer waits and higher prices with traditional ride-hailing services. According to Moneycontrol, Quick Ride’s new service aims to fill this void by offering reliable, sustainable alternatives that are easy to book and readily available.

Enhancing Passenger Convenience With Ride-Sharing Options
Besides individual rides, Quick Ride encourages passengers to opt for its ride-sharing service. This option enables commuters to share trips with others heading in the same direction, lowering travel costs by up to 40%. It also reduces the number of vehicles on the road, easing traffic congestion around the airport. This initiative fosters a community-driven travel experience while contributing positively to Bengaluru’s urban mobility challenges.
