Earn Velocity Points On All Ola Rides

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, Uber has been the unbeaten ride-share king in Australia, but as always, competition isn’t far away.

$20 free credit when you use promo code AR6C2VU

India’s largest ride-share company launched in Australia last year and has been expanding aggressively by offering lower-cost rides, more promo codes and fewer fees to its drivers. Click here for more Ola Coupon Codes

These days most Uber drivers will have the Ola app and vice versa.

Ola 30% Off Airport Rides

Existing Ola riders aren’t left in the cold when it comes to promo codes either; you can use code FLY to get 30% off on airport drop-offs or code LAND to get $30% off airport pickups.

If you live further out, Ola has capped fares to $25 at the moment when you use code OLADROP for drop-offs and OLAPICK for rides from the airport.

Ola vs Uber

While Uber lets you earn Qantas points to and from the airport, I think the Ola deal works out better since you can earn points on all rides. On top off that due to the aggressive marketing strategies, Ola rides are cheaper compared to Uber (at least for now). I find availability is almost as good as Uber and drivers get more money in their pocket, so they often prefer to use the Ola app for that reason. The only downside to Ola is that their premium car range is rather limited compared to Uber.
