Monthly placement vs on-call: which pays more?
A monthly placement gives a fixed ₹15,000–30,000 with 4 leave days and no hunting for work. On-call pays per booking — a driver who takes two bookings a day most days clears ₹30,000+, but income varies with season. Many of our drivers combine both: a morning school-run placement plus evening and weekend on-call bookings.
