India’s leading bike-taxi and ride-sharing platform Rapido has taken a major step toward becoming a super app. The company announced the launch of hotel, flight, bus, and train booking options on its app, expanding its services far beyond daily commute rides.
With this move, Rapido travel booking becomes a reality for millions of its users across India. The new feature is already live in the Rapido app and offers discounted prices for early adopters.
Partnerships Powering the Expansion
To bring the travel feature to life, Rapido has tied up with leading platforms in the travel ecosystem:
- Flights & Hotels: Powered by Goibibo, offering discounted rates and instant booking confirmations.
- Bus Bookings: Integrated with redBus, India’s largest online bus ticketing service.
- Train Bookings: Enabled through ConfirmTkt, providing users with seamless train ticket reservations.
These collaborations make Rapido one of the few Indian mobility companies to combine ride-hailing and long-distance travel under one platform.
Introductory Offers for Users
To attract travelers, Rapido is launching limited-time offers across all travel categories:
- Up to ₹4,000 off on flight bookings
- 55% discount on hotels
- 20% off on bus tickets
- Zero service charge on train tickets
The offers are available on the “Travel” section of the Rapido app, designed to make bookings faster and simpler for users.
Why Rapido Travel Booking Is a Smart Move
Rapido’s entry into the travel booking space is a strategic step toward building a complete travel ecosystem. With millions of users already relying on Rapido for local rides, the company now has a strong base to promote intercity and leisure travel.
This expansion also aligns with the company’s vision of transforming into a super app — one platform where users can book everything from a daily bike ride to an outstation flight.
According to industry experts, this move could help Rapido compete with not only ride-sharing players like Ola and Uber but also online travel giants like MakeMyTrip, Yatra, and EaseMyTrip.
CEO’s Statement
A Rapido spokesperson said the expansion is aimed at simplifying travel for Indian consumers:
“We want Rapido to be a one-stop solution for all mobility and travel needs. Whether it’s a 5-minute bike ride or a flight to another city, users should be able to do it all from one app.”
What’s Next for Rapido
The company is expected to roll out more travel-related services in the coming months, including:
- Holiday packages and curated experiences
- Corporate travel management tools
- Integration with UPI-based payment offers and loyalty rewards
With travel demand rebounding post-pandemic, Rapido’s expansion could significantly boost user engagement and diversify its revenue streams.
