Security is the most important point that everyone keeps in his/her mind before taking a taxi. Generally taxis have low level of security as it is not tracked by the fleet management companies.
- No insurance of customer:
No insurance is provided to the customer availing the service of a taxi. If a customer is taking a ride in the taxi, and somehow he/she meets with an accident, then no compensation is provided to his/her family members.

There is no root sharing option available in offline taxi hiring as the drivers are not provided by the navigation feature. Customers have to directly tell the taxi driver about the location wherever they are.
