Our Verdict

One-way cabs save 40-50% when you only need to go from A to B (airport drops, relocations, train connections). Round trip is better for holiday trips, sightseeing tours, and multi-day journeys where you need the driver and car at your disposal. If you plan to return within 1-2 days and want local sightseeing, round trip is always more economical.
