In exchange of an Ola Select membership for one, two, or three months, the taxi aggregator says it will waiver the peak pricing or surge prices applicable on the cabs during rush hour. 

             

At Rs 549 a month, Rs 1,049 for two months, and Rs 1,449 for three months, the membership seems worth it, given that the company promises to waiver surge pricing on all the rides through the selected period, across categories during the rush hour period. 

These are the other benefits that the company promises with the Ola Select membership, according to the company's website: 

-- Airport Lounge access

-- Priority Customer Support

-- Free In-Cab Wi-Fi
