Careem Silently Reduces Discounts on Ride Packages by Up to Rs. 30

Three months after increasing prices of the ride packages, Careem has silently jacked up the rates again.

In July this year, the company almost doubled the prices of its Budget Packages, and now, the country’s leading online ride-hailing service has further reduced the discount on its ride packages.

The three-ride packages that previously saved flat Rs. 120 per ride now offer a discount of Rs. 90-110 per ride.

After the reduction in discounts, the new prices are as follows:

  1. Rs 249 3 rides – Rs 110 off per ride
  2. Rs 449 6 rides – Rs 105 off per ride
  3. Rs 649 10 rides – Rs 100 off per ride
  4. Rs 999 20 rides – Rs 90 off per ride
  5. Rs 1999 50 rides – Rs 90 off per ride

While most of the old packages were available for 14 days, all new packages will have 30-day validity. Moreover, Careem has also introduced 300 rides packages which is available for Rs. 6,999.

However, there seems to be a bug in the Careem app as it shows “Rs. 0” discount on the 300-ride bulk package.

Note that the previous Budget Ride Packages cost the same but offered more value for the money.

Here is how much the new Budget Packages previously cost, offering a flat Rs. 120 discount on each ride:

  1. 3 rides for Rs. 249 (14 days)
  2. 6 rides for Rs. 449 (14 days)
  3. 10 rides for Rs. 649 (14 days)
  4. 20 rides for Rs. 999 (30 days)

Further, the company has also increased the rates for its Kilometers packages.

Careem’s updated Kilometres Package:

  1. 75km for Rs 1999
  2. 160km for Rs 3899
  3. 340km for Rs 7499

Here is what Careem previously offered:

  1. 100 kilometer — Rs. 2,300
  2. 200 kilometer — Rs. 3,440
  3. 400 kilometer — Rs. 8,100
