Benefits of using Oyaa

Besides not having to worry about parking, traveling in an Oyaa cab is much less troublesome than driving your own car. You basically don’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying your ride.

Here are the main benefits of taking an Oyaa cab:

• No need to pay for gas and parking fees
• No risk/liability to passengers
• No need to use public transport with fixed routes and schedules
• Avoid traveling on crowded buses, trains or other transportation vehicles
• No tipping
• Passengers’ safety is of utmost importance

You can also have a nice chat with the Oyaa driver to find out what’s new in town or what are the must-see attractions, while with a self-drive car you are on your own.
