DriveU takes Reserve beyond metros with Jaipur, Kochi & Chandigarh launch

Chauffeur-driven cab service DriveU Reserve on Tuesday announced its expansion to Jaipur, Kochi and Chandigarh, taking its footprint to ten cities across the country.

With the launch, users in the three cities can book in-city, outstation and airport rides through the app or the company's dedicated Reserve web page, DriveU said in a statement.

The company cited high visitor movement in the three cities as the rationale for the expansion. Jaipur serves as a major tourism gateway to Rajasthan, Kochi anchors business and leisure travel in Kerala, while Chandigarh functions as the administrative and commercial hub for Punjab and Haryana.

"The demand for reliable, app-based mobility isn't limited to India's biggest cities," said Rahm Shastry, Founder and CEO of DriveU, adding that the company sees a significant opportunity to expand deeper into the country.

Reserve, which was launched in March 2026, follows a four-hour advance booking model rather than on-demand dispatch. The company said it has seen bookings from international travellers in Spain, Australia, the UAE, the UK and Singapore.

With the latest additions, DriveU Reserve is now operational in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Jaipur, Kochi and Chandigarh.
